 and a half miles per day. 



In the Bulletin of the Illinois State Laboratory of Natural 

 History, Dr. Stephen A. Forbes gives a table and a series of 

 maps illustrating the distribution of the different species of 

 fishes, as traced in the state of Illinois. One hundred and fifty 

 native species are recognized, all of them represented in the 

 neighboring states, variously extending into the rather monot- 

 onous basin of Illinois, in accordance with the character of the 

 water. In the absence of geographical barriers, the causes 

 influencing their distribution are climatic, geologic and ecolog- 

 ical. A number of other generalizations are developed.

 portion of the carp family. Most of the species are illustrated 

 by good drawings.
