XENOTIS MEGALOTIS, Raf. LonG-EARED Sun-FISH. 
This little species is not at all common in the State, but has been 
taken by us from the middle course of Fox R., from tributaries of | 
the Illinois R., and from ponds in Union county, in southern TIlli- 
nois. 
Unfortunately, the three specimens examined had not lately taken 
food, and only a very imperfect notion of their usual aliment can 
be given. Corixa, ephemerid larve, Chironomus larve, the tube of 
a case-worm, a few fish-scales and an undeterminable aquatic beetle 
were the only objects found. 
XENOT.S PELTASTES.* Cope. 
This beautiful little fish, hitherto taken in this State only in very | 
small number from Fox R., was found quite abundant in the “slip” 
at South Chicago, in June, 1880. The three opened had caten more 
larve of Chironomus than any thing else (sixty per cent.). Next 
came sixteen per cent. of mollusks, then Allorchestes and Asellus, 
‘Corixa, gyrinid larve, and a few terrestrial larve (Chrysomelid). 
The large percentage of Chironomus was probably owing to the 
situation, a foul and muddy little bay, serving as a harbor for fish- 
-ing-boats.

*It is considered doubtful, by Dr. Jordan, if this species and the preceding are distinct.
