youug SticluvHs pnnctatiis, showiug a stage in its ilevelopiuput by wbich I was able to recoguize 

 Notoyrammus roihrochii as a still less developed pbase of tbe same species. The young oi Anar- 

 rhichas lepturiis was also secured. 



There is auotber important feature of Mr. Nelson's collections, wbicb is tbe presence of large 

 series of tbe Salmonidre, especially ThymaUus and Stcnodits, as well as Cottidcc. Chirida; and of 

 Lota maculosa, Lycodes turnerii, and Ammoccetes aureus. 



Mr. Nelson's notes relate to locality, date of capture, native names, information obtained from 

 natives about tbe movements of species, colors of tbe fresb specimens, and such other matters as 

 would claim attention in the field. He made, also, color sketches of some of the species.
