THE White-fish of the Great Lakes, Coregonus chipeiformis is a well known fish which has numerous representatives in the lakes of the Great West, all of which will necessarily come into prominence as the country becomes more densely populated, and all of which will doubt- less in time come under the attention of the fish culturist, though none of them are of any especial interest to the angler. Coregonus chipeiformis (Mitchill) Milner, as has been said, is the most important of its family. It inhabits the Great Lakes and British America, and is replaced in Alaska by C. Richardsotiii. This species has been artificially reared, and widely distributed beyond seas, and is one of the most important market fishes of the Upper Mississippi Valley. Next in rank is the Coregoneus Artedi almost universally known as the "Lake ; The name "Cisco" is also often applied to it, especially about the smaller lakes, and in many regions also the name.
