a little dilated at its termination, and terminates in the sac 
with the caeca. The spleen is long and large. The milt is 
of a wood-brown colour.

The habits and food of this fish appear to differ but 
little from those of the Attihhawmegh, notwithstanding the 
great difference in the structure of their stomachs. It is 
inferior to that fish as an article of food, and is compara- 
tively rare. 
It is found in most of the lakes, and we caught some 
very fine ones in the sea at the mouth of the Copper-Mine 
River. 
HiODON Clodalis. Gold Eye. 
The Canadian voyagers have long known this fish by 
the name of Naccaysh, the English fur-traders by that of 
Gold Eye ; yet, from its being confined to the inland lakes, 
it does not appear to have been sent to Forster or Hearne, 
to whose investigations we owe all that is know^n respecting 
the Hudson's Bay fish. Its Cree name is Oiceepeetcheesees. 
M. Le Sueur having met wath it in the northern parts of 
the United States, constructed a new generic character*
