1. Probably much more abundant than either survey indicates but 
difficult to sample by minnow seine. 
2 Probably a misidentification of Extmyzon sucetta but specimens 
not available for confirmation. The lake chubsucker formerly 
occurred in a few scattered localities in southern Illinois. 
3 Undoubtedly a misidentification. |‘ Most likely Lepomis microLophus.
