Clupea harengus Linnieus. South shore of River St. Lawrence (Fortin 1862). 
Pomolobus pseudoharengus (Wilson). Alewife; ‘‘Gasperot.’”? Lower part of 
River St. Lawrence (Fortin 1863); St. Lawrence (Goode 1884); St. Law-

Coregonus quadrilateralis Richardson. Round White-fish. Racket and Piseco

Coregonus labradoricus Richardson. Labrador White-fish. River St. Law- 
rence and some rivers flowing into it (Fortin 1863); River St. Lawrence 
(Hallock 1877); Lake Memphremagog (Evermann & Kendall 1894 and 
Evermann & Smith 1894); Grand Décharge (Chambers 1896); Lake St. 
John (Chambers 1896), and Lake Memphremagog (Rathbun & Wakeham 
1897). Abundant in Chateaugay Lake, from which eight specimens were 
received December 24, 1900, through the kindness of the late Hon. A. Nel- 
son Cheney and Mr. Grant E. Winchester, of the New York State fish com- 
mission. These specimens were each 8 to 9.12 inches long, and all seemed 
entirely mature. Two are females with apparently ripe eggs. 
These specimens are very interesting, and make it increasingly difficult 
to state clearly the differences between the Labrador and the common white- 
fishes. The technical characters of these little fish agree in the main with 
those assigned to the Labrador white-fish. The number of gillrakers 
(11+17 to 134-20) varies, however, all the way from the correct number 
for C. labradoricus to that of C. clupeiformis, thus eliminating that character 
so far as its specific value is concerned. The well-developed teeth on the 
tongue, the dark color, the shape of the body, and the small size at which 
these fish reach maturity are characters indicating their distinctness from 
C. clupeiformis.

bec, 60 miles north of Ottawa (D. Dwylie coll. 1897).

La Grande and Petit-Trinity (Montpetit 1897).
