The dorsal carinatiou is frequently observed in stufifed flsbes in wbicb some flesb is left in tlie back to sbrink in drying, leaving tbe back " carinated". I have examined several of tbe types of Catostonius alticolns Co\)e. They are all small tisbes, not oue-lourtb grown, and, as usual in young fishes, tbe bead appears proi)ortionally large. I see, however, no rea- son for considering them diflferent from (Jatostomus teres. Moxostoma imignntum I have already referred to. Tbe absence of tbe lateral line is due to their youth, not to their belonging to a different genus. The three large lateral spots, *' not seen in any other of the order," are fouiul on young spei imens of Caiostomus generally. I have examined the types of 'â 'â¢Moxostoma triniynatmn ", and have found specimens of similar size, similarly colored and without lateral line, from iMichigan and from other Western States. I would undertake to match tliem from any I stream in the West. Tbe reference of these specimens to Moxostoma [Eiimyzon) was probably the result of a very hasty examination. a^ecimtma in United States Xatiunal Museum. ;.".:.i&j n'. â â¢. '^ \i rrpr.
