inland waters of New York and the Eastern States, it is 



unknown. 



The head, back, and 

 sides of the Siskawitz, 

 above the lateral line, are 

 of dingy brownish olive, 

 with a greener gloss on 

 the upper parts, irregu- 

 larly blotched and cloud- 

 ed, rather than spotted, 

 with lighter circular or 

 oval patches of the same 

 colour. Below the lateral 

 line the colour is paler 

 and more yellow, with 

 clusters of the same spots 

 fading into a dull dead 

 white, which is the pre- 

 vailing hue of the belly, 

 with a very slight silvery 

 gloss on some of the 

 scales. 



The dorsal and caudal 

 fins are of the same 

 greenish brown with the 

 back, and like it are 

 irregularly patched with 

 lighter spots. The pec- 

 toral, ventral, and anal fins are paler, but with the same
