 demics produced by them. Report U. S. P'ish Commission, 

 1892, p. 65-304, 47 pi. 



Monographic account of these parasites. Effects, epidemics, structure, 

 classification and records of occurrence. From fresh water in North 

 America 6 species are recorded, viz: Myxobolus monurus in pirate 

 perch; M. transovalis in shiner; M. oblongus and .1/. globosus in sucker; 

 M. macrurus in a minnow; M. linearis in the bullhead, and an unidenti- 

 fied species in a minnow. This list is exceedingly incomplete as these 

 forms have not been studied extensively.
