20 NEW-YORK FAUNA. 



I have never met with this species in this State, but am assured by Major Lc Conte that he 

 has seen it in Lake Erie, from which it is reasonable to suppose that it occurs in this State. 

 The specimen affording the above description, was one sent to the Lyceum by Mr. Schoolcraft, 

 from the Sault St. Marie, several years ago.
