These records were checked for corre- spondence of locality description and coordinates, entered into a database, and plotted on 1:50 000 maps (all records in the database are listed in an unpublished Appendix on file with COSEWIC and available on request). Records were plotted on a 1:1 000 000 rough base map from which Figure 2 was prepared. In Canada, Exoglossum maxillingua is found in the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries, from a tributary of the Riviere St-Denis near Saint-Pascal, Quebec (the northern most record known) upstream in the St. Lawrence River to Ivy Lea, Ontario. It is known from the lower Ottawa River system as far upstream as Riviere du Diable in the Riviere Rouge system (see Table 1, Figure 2). Nash (1908) stated that the species occurred in Lake Ontario. There are no voucher specimens to substantiate its presence in the Ontario portion of that lake but it has been reported from New York tributaries (Crossman and Van Meter 1979). Protection Exoglossum maxillingua is not legally protected in North America but it is listed as
