Morone punctata, from Lake Menzaleh. | natural size. 



deal beyond St. Louis in high-water time. In Egypt it is common in the salt lakes of 

 the Mediterranean coast, where Mr. Loat obtained numerous specimens in Lakes 

 Menzaleh (8.5-2.7.99), Borollos (3-7.11.99), and Mareotis (12.11.99). Specimens 

 obtained at Alexandria by Petherick have been described by Giinther as Labrax 

 orientalis. Geoffroy's specimens came from Damietta. I am not aware that this fish 

 has been caught anywhere in fresh water in Egypt, hut it probably occasionally extends 

 its wanderings into the Delta, like its congener Morone labrax.
