MOSSES IN THE VICINITY OF CLEVELAND. 



65 



The fishes to which I desire to direct the attention of the 

 Academy belong to the Salmon family, but the species I 

 am unable to designate. 



The Salmonidse are generally believed to be oviparous, 

 and this is certainly true of the Salmo Salor, the Salmo 

 Fontanalis, and probably of most of the other species ; it is 

 equally true that many species of the Perch are also 

 oviparous, and yet the fishes described by Prof. Agassiz 

 belong to the Perch family. 



It was too late in the season to procure a specimen when 

 I received the information above, but I hope to be able to 

 present some specimens before the close of the year, as I 

 have ascertained their habitat, and the season of the year 

 when the females are pregnant.
