XATUEAL HISTORY COLLECTIONS IN ALASKA. 



yonng Stichceus jpunctatus, showing a stage in its development by which I was able to recognize 

 Notogrammus rotlirockii as a still less developed phase of the same species. The young of Anar- 

 rliiclias lepturus was also secnred. 



There is another important feature of Mr. Nelson's collections, which is the i^resence of large 

 series of the Salmonidse., especially Thymallus and Stcnodus, as well as Gottidw, Ghiridce, and of 

 Lota maculosa, Lycodss turnerii, and Ammoecetes aureus. 



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

 natives about the movements of species, colors of the fresh specimens, and such other matters as 

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

The whole number of species of fishes now known in Alaska is one hundred and thirty-five, of 

 which Mr. Nelson added six. Since the publication of my review of the Alaskan fishes in Bulletin 

 27, National Museum, section P, page 4, the following new members have been discovered : Hip- 

 poglossoides exilis, Lumpenus fabricii, Murcenoides ruberrimu^s, Aspidophoroides giintherii, Brach- 

 yqpsis dodecaedrus, Gottus deeastrmsis, Cottus axillaris, Gottus quadrifilis, Gottus quadricornis, Core- 

 gonus nelsonii, Salvelinus namaycush, and Baia stellulata.
