FISHES AND MOLLUSKS OF LAKE CHAUTAUQUA. slic 
MOLLUSKS OF CHAUTAUQUA LAKE. 
No special effort was made to collect the mollusks inhabiting this 
lake, and the following list is therefore far from complete. The little 
collecting that was done was on the northwest and north shores. 
Species of Unionide, especially the heavy-sheiled forms, do not 
appear to be very abundant, either as to species or individuals. © Cam- 
peloma, Planorbis, Limnea, and Physa seem abundant, and Unio 
gibbosus, Anodonta grandis footiana, and Lampsilis luteolus were the 
most common species of mussels.  Vivipara contectoides, which is so 
abundant in many of the small lakes in northern Indiana in the 
Wabash Basin, was not found in Chautauqua Lake. 
For assistance in the identification of the shells we are under obli- 
gations to Mr. Charles T. Simpson, of the Department of Mollusks, 
United States National Museum.
