638 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 



range, beiug found from New York State south to Louisiana, and north- 

 west to Indiana and Illinois. 



According to Dr. Abbott,* this species frequents running streams 

 which have masses of vegetation growing in them ; the animal resting 

 upon the plants, usually near the surface of the water.

Dr. Hagen knew this species only from the Middle States and Mary- 

 land. According to Dr. Abbott, in the paper previously referred to, this 

 is the river-species in the vicinity of Philadelphia. He says, "AYe have 

 been able to find it, as yet, ouly in the Delaware Eiver, usually frequent- 

 ing the rocky bed, but also in fewer numbers on the mud-bottomed por- 

 tions of the river. They are usually found resting under flat stones, 

 well out from the banks of the stream, where the water is of consid- 

 erable depth. Wherever the vegetation is dense, we have failed to find 

 them ; nor have we seen anything to indicate that it is a burrowing 

 species."

I have examined specimens of this species from as far east as Mon- 

 treal, and Dr. Hagen records it from Northern New York to Lake Su- 

 perior. It dwells in Cayuga Lake, New York ; and Professor Verrill 

 has found it in a lake at Madison, Wis. 



It was found in abundance in the stomach of Menohranclms lateralis, 

 at Ecorse, Mich., by Mr. J. ^Y. Milner, 



A crawfish, found in the valley of the Saint John's and Aroostook Riv- 

 ers in Maine and New Brunswick, is most likely this species; but I have 

 never had specimens for examination.
