II. THE SPECIMEN FROM KENMARE, 
Nortu DAKOTA. 
The axolotl referred to in the 
former article (American Naturalist, 
July, 1900, p. 544) as having been 
found in Kenmare, North Dakota,

men was somewhat distorted in 
fitting it into its bottle, the meas- 
urements of the latter will not stand 
a rigid comparison with those of the 
other siredons. | 
Mr. Makee writes me as to the 
locality of the specimen, that it was 
caught among a number of fish in 
a seine during June, 1898, in Des 
Lacs Lake. The lake is thirty miles 
long and half a mile wide, and has 
an estimated depth of twenty-five 
feet. It is located in Ward County, 
North Dakota, and discharges 
through a chain of lakes into the 
Mouse River, a tributary of the 
Red River of the North, and finally 
of Hudson Bay. Kenmare is at
