Dr. Coues writes me that he obtained a fine specimen of this species 

 at Fort Buford, Dakota. I have not seen it, however. This species 

 seems to be abundant in all the large streams between the Alleghanies 

 and the Eio Grande. West of the Eio Grande Basin, it has not yet 

 been noted. 



The "Gristle-nosed Fish" from Saint Mary's Eiver, recorded by Dr. 

 Coues, is perhaps Polyodon folium Lac. I have not seen the specimen 

 referred to.
