* About Lake Champlain, in New York and Vermont, and, for aught I know, else- 
where, the Esox lucius is popularly known as “pickerel.” This specimen was called 
by Mr. Blackford, from whom it was received, “ Large pickerel.” 
t These two, M. salmoides and M. dolomieu, have occasioned us some perplexity. 
(Compare Jordan, Man. Vert., and Jor. & Gil., Synopsis.) They were received at 
different times and identified as above stated; one may have been mistaken for the 
other, but this seems to me so improbable that I use the names as given. 
+ Our common yellow perch has been designated in previous reports as P. fluvia- 
tili8, but I find that authorities (Jor. & Gil., Synopsis. 524) have come to regard it as 
distinct from the European species of that name,
