. American fishes : a popular treatise upon the game and food fishes of North America with especial reference to habits and methods of capture. Fishes -- North America. THE BROOK SUCKER—CATOSTOMUS COMMERSOXI. All the lakes and rivers of the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific slope, savs Jordan, are inhabited by species of this genus, or of the allied genera Cliasmistcs and Pantostcus. In Utah Lake, said to be the " greatest Sucker-pond in the world," are found Catostomus fecundus and ardens, Cliasmistcs liorus and Pantosteusplatyrhynchus, all in abundance. In Lake Tahoe Catostomus tahoensis; in the Sacramento C. occidentalis; in the Columbia C. macrochilus; in Klamath Lake Cliasmistcs luxatus and Ch. brevirostris, abound, while in the great lakes and all waters thence to Alaska and Arctic Ocean C. longirostris is an important food-fish. The " Stone-roller," "Hog Sucker," "Stone Toter ' or "Hammer- head Sucker," Catostomus nigricans, abounds in most waters from the great lakes southward. The Stone-roller is extremely abundant in every run- ning stream in the North and West, where its singular, almost comical form is familiar to every school-boy. It delights in rapids and shoals, preferring cold and clear water. Its powerful pectorals render it a swifter swimmer than any other of its family. Its habit is to rest motionless on the bot- tom, where its mottled colors render it difficult to distinguish from the stones among which it lies. When disturbed it darts away very quickly, after the manner of the etheostomoids.
