16 FISHES OF THE CONNECTICUT LAKES. 
longnose dace (Rhinichythys cataracte) had not before been re- 
corded from any locality as far east as New Hampshire. The red- 
bellied minnow (Chrosomus erythrogaster) and bronze minnow 
(Leuciscus neogeus) are also new records for New Hampshire, and 
their occurrence here helps to fill the gap between Maine and the 
more western localities of their range. 
Although the chub-minnow (Cowestus, plumbeus), brook chub 
(Semotilus atromaculatus), and longnosed sucker (Catostomus catos- 
tomus) are well known to the inhabitants of this region, we know of 
no records of their occurrence in New Hampshire, but they were to be 
expected, since they have been collected in neighboring localities in 
Maine and Vermont. Of particular interest is the collection of young 
cusk (Lota maculosa), which, so far as we know, have not hitherto 
been collected in North America. 
Species not found by us, but to be expected to occur in this region, 
are the shiner (Abrams crysoleucas) and possibly the Labrador 
whitefish (Coregonus labradoricus). 
The following table shows, in parallel columns, the faunal simi- 
larity, as exhibited by our collections, of northern Vermont and the 
upper Androscoggin River and Rangeley Lakes, Maine, with the up- 
per Connecticut River in northern New Hampshire. ‘A cross mark 
opposite the names of upper Connecticut fishes indicates their pres- 
ence in the regions represented in the respective columns.
