WHO’S WHO IN THE FISHING WORLD.

He has been within ten degrees of the North Pole;
seen the midnight sun in Northern Greenland; entered
the North West Passage; wintered in Hudson’s Bay,
and travelled all over the ttle known waters of our
three coasts—North, East, and West. Yet in Mr. An-
drew Halkett’s appearance there is little to suggest
that he has lived an adventurous life. Slghtly built,
studious, and particular of speech, one would never for
a moment connect him with the little scientist who was
picked up off the Alaska Coast adrift in a dug-out
with two frightened Siwash Indians by the United
States Revenue Cutter ‘‘Bear,’’ during a blinding snow-
storm. Yet in the capacity of a naturalist, Mr. Hal-
kett has endured many hardships and taken many
risks in order to obtain reliable data upon the flora
and fauna of the Dominion.

Our Who’s Who is the Curator of the Fisheries
Museun at Ottawa, and Naturalist to the Department

 

 

 

of Marine and Fisheries. Like a vast number of prom-
inent Fisheries men including Professor Prinee, Mr. -J.
J. Cowie, Dr. Hugh Smith of the U.S. Fisheries Bu-
reau, Mr. Andrew Halkett hails from Old Caledonia,
having first seen the ght in the ancient and honor-
able town of Brechin, Forfarshire, Scotland, on Octo-
ber 28th, 1854. His father was the Rev. Andrew Hal-
kett, for many years minister of St. Andrews’ Church,
St. John, N.B., and his mother was a Canadian of
United Empire Loyalist ancestry, hailing from Fred-
evicton, N.B. It was after his father and mother sailed
back to Scotland, that the subject of our sketch was
born, which accounts for his being a Seotsman — in-
stead of a New Brunswicker.

Educated in the Grammar School of the old Scottish
town, his boyish inclinations were early directed to
the study of Natural Tistory and he lived much in the
woods and on the water making observations of birds,
animals and fishes. Coming to Canada in 1873, the vast
flora and fauna of the Dominion proved a veritable

CANADIAN FISHERMAN

daprasy se---

Eldorado to the young scientist, and for six years he
travelled all over the country making a study of the
varied animal life natural to Canada. In 1879, Mr.
Halkett was appointed as Naturalist to the Department
of Marine and Fisheries.

Since his connection with the Fisheries Department.
My. Halkett has travelled extensively in order to ac-
quire a first hand knowledge of Canada’s fisheries. He
has been upon the Atlantic and Pacific Banks aboard
the vessels with the fishermen as well as with the net-
ters of the Great Lakes. With the oyster dredgers and
lobstermen he has worked to obtain scientifie data, and
among his many researches and expeditions are includ-
ed an Investigation of the fur seal in the Bering Sea;
researches concerning the natural history of the lobs-
ter in various localities in the Maritime Provinces;
with the Neptune expedition to the northern seas and
Hudson’s Bay, besides a host of minor expeditions upon
the fisheries of inland lakes and rivers.

At the Paris Exhibition, Mr. Halkett was in charge
of the Canadian Natural History exhibit and received
a diploma and medal. He also had charge of the Fish-
evies Exhibit at the last Toronto Exhibition, for which
a gold medal was granted to the Department. As Cur-
ator of the Fisheries Museum at Ottawa, Mr. Halkett
will always be found as a courteous and competent au-
thority to all wishing reliable information regarding
Canada’s fish and fisheries.

The results of many painstaking labours and years
of research has been embodied in Mr. Halkett’s book
entitled, ‘‘A Check List of the Fishes in the Dominion
of Canada’’ recently issued by the Department. This
handsome volume may be characterized as a Dictionary
of Canada’s Fishes. It includes 566 different species
and gives the technical and common names of each,
and the waters in which they are to be found. Every-
thing with fins, scales and gills to be found in Canadian
waters is enumerated in the book, and as a scientific re-
cord, it is one of the ablest and most comprehensive
works ever issued by the Fisheries Department.

Though naturally precise in speech and manner, Mr.
Halkett has a keen sense of humor and possesses a de-
gree of vim and nerve not in keeping with his studious
personal appearance—which all goes to show that ap-
pearances are deceptive. However, as Naturalist to the
Fisheries Department, Mr. Halkett is the right man in
the right place and a right good fellow among his
many friends, and as Canada’s representative Fisheries
Magazine, the ‘‘Canadian Fisherman’’ is pleased to in-
clude him with the other notables in the Fishing World.

 

Wilham J. Hackett, of 70 Long wharf, Boston, form-

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS

This publication is a check-list of the Fishes of British North America. Its aim is to give
the species indigenous to the Dominion of Canada and Newfoundland, as well as those of the Fishing
Banks beyond the three mile limit. A complete list of the fishes of Canada has long been a
desideratum, and it is hoped that the present work will help to obviate that need. It should,
however, be looked upon as a pioneer, heralding the way towards a fuller specific conception of
our fishes and their distribution. There are records of specimens which are provisionally admitted
in the list as distinct species, having been recorded so, which in reality may belong to species
already known, and an endeavour is made to point out those doubtful records, which happily
are not over numerous, in foot-notes. As regards the better known, and more commercially
important kinds, the check-list may, in giving their range, more repletely serve its purpose; but
even in a few of these the limits of their range, especially in the far north, and owing to confusion
in their records and synonyms, are hard to determine. Records of certain specimens are possibly
sometimes wrongly named by the recorders, and would therefore appear, had they been rightly
named, under the species to which they really belong; although in some such cases the localities
in which they were found may be included through other records. Species which occur close
to our borders, or both north and south of our borders, although not actually recorded from
our waters are also provisionally admitted; and this appears justifiable, because the late Rev.
G. W. Taylor was constantly bringing to light species occurring in British Columbia which
hitherto had not been recorded; and furthermore, researches have revealed species along our
Atlantic sea-coast, and in the fresh waters of the Dominion, which formerly were not recorded
north of the United States boundary. There are also some interesting records of casual visitors,
such as the tarpon (Tarpon atlanticus) in Nova Scotia; and the occurrence of species very
rare in Canada, such as the paddle-fish (Polyodon spathula) in Helen Lake, Nipigon River, and
elsewhere in the Canadian Great Lakes region. The list of the fishes, especially the fresh water
fishes, of Newfoundland is admitted to be inadequate. There appear to be no published records
of the species of that colony (save a list of ‘The Fishes of Labrador,’ by William Converse
Kendall), yet as one third of the island of Newfoundland is covered with water some interesting
finds may in the future be looked for. Some remarkable and diverse forms, indigenous to the
Banks of Newfoundland and to the Banks off Nova Scotia have been obtained on these fishing
grounds, or have followed vessels into the harbours and ports from there, and it has been thought
fitting to include such in the list.

Canada, has its own particular species of fishes—that is species which do not occur, or have not
been found, in the waters of any other country; and one of them, of which there is only one specimen
known, recently discovered, is the type of a new genus (Asemichthys). |The names of the species
peculiar to Canada, with the localities where they occur, appear in their places in the body of the
text. Contrariwise there is scarcely a sea on the surface of the globe in which there does not occur
some fish which also occurs, or has occurred, on the coasts of Canada.

The check-list, of course, is not descriptive; but is simply, it is hoped, what it purports to be.
It is a pioneer, feeling its way towards a better knowledge of what species of fishes inhabit the
waters of the British North American possessions—especially those indigenous to Canada. It
does not profess to be a complete list, but it is confidently believed to approximate the total number
of fishes which our waters contain. It is subject to amendment then, in regard to species to be added
to the list as records or discoveries reveal them; and not only so, but in regard to species, and such
are apparently few, to be eliminated from the list as having no right there.
8 CHECK LIST OF F.SHES OF THE DOMINION

As the list stands there are 569 species including sub-species (3 being in addenda), and they
follow each other consecutively, and in systematic order, from the cyclostomes to the plectog-
naths: the families and orders under which they are placed appearing in a preceding scheme of
classification. The technical name, governed by the rules of priority; the vernacular name, when
the fish has one (and the majority of our fishes bear vernacular names); the environment,
concisely; and the geographical distribution of each fish are given.

The check-list is based on all the available literature on the subject, and on my own personal
observations in many parts of the Dominion; as well as in an examination of specimens in the
museum. In its preparation a vast amount of material has been consulted. Iam under inestimable
obligation to Drs. Jordan and Evermann. Their great work on ‘The Fishes of North and Middle
America’ in four massive volumns has been indispensable, and I am indebted to them for the
settlement of priority of names. I adhere, however, to British ichthyologists where a matter of
orthography is concerned—as Lepidosteus instead of Lepisosteus and Hyodon instead of Hiodon.
Besides the great work of those authorities referred to, I have received much help from their
‘American Food and Game Fishes,’ and from Dr. Jordan’s ‘Guide to the Study of Fishes’ in two
volumns.

Many lists and records of the fishes of Provinces and localities have been diligently compared,
and in respect to such valuable aid has been afforded me by individual students of the fishes of
special localities.

To Mr. Harry Piers, Curator of the Provincial Museum of Nova Scotia, I am indebted not
only for copies of his annual reports which contain accounts of fishes of Nova Scotia, and for records
of the occurrence of Chilomycterus schepfi and Mola mola in that Province, but also for the loan
of the following lists which are now out of print.

‘Fishes of Nova Scotia,’ 1866, by Thomas F. Knight.

‘List of the Fishes of Nova Scotia,’ 1879, by J. Matthew Jones.

‘Nova Scotian Ichthyology,’ 1885-6, by Dr. Honeyman.

To Dr. Phillip Cox, of Fredericton University, I owe a great deal, not only for the valuable
aid which his ‘Catalogue of the Marine and Fresh-water Fishes of New Brunswick’ and his ‘ List
of Fresh-water Fishes of the Gaspé Peninsula’ have afforded me, but I am additionally indebted
to him for kindly going over my manuscript in regard to the fishes of New Brunswick.

Gratefully do I acknowledge the favours of the late Rev. G. W. Taylor, formerly the Curator
of the Biological Station at Departure Bay, Vancouver Island. In personal interviews and in
correspondence he did me great service, and he had the kindness to review a provisional manuscript
list of the fishes of British Columbia which I drew up for his perusal. It may be mentioned too
that Mr. Taylor kindly volunteered to allow me to incorporate into my list, a list of the fishes of
British Columbia, which he himself had in course of preparation, but unfortunately his death
intervened and the list has never appeared. In regard to the fishes of British Columbia, I am also
indebted to Mr. Francis Kermode, Curator of the Provincial Museum, Victoria, who kindly had
a list of the fishes in the museum type-written for me, and who also sent me a copy of his published
report which contains a list of the fishes in that collection. To him I am further indebted for getting
a very young specimen of Catulus brunneus, through Dr. Gilbert of Leland-Stanford Junior Uni-
versity, identified.

The following lists and publications have been of great service:

‘Food and Game Fishes of North America,’ by the deceased Dr. G. Brown Goode.

‘Check-list of the Fishes of Ontario,’ by Mr. C. W. Nash, Lecturer on Biology for the Ontario
Department of Agriculture.

Prof. Ramsay Wright’s ‘Preliminary Report on the Fish and Fisheries of Ontario’ was of
service; and ‘List of Manitoba Fishes’ by Dr. E. E. Prince, was of use as showing species which
occur in Manitoba, but no localities are given.

The following British publications have been of great service, generally as showing the dis-
tribution of fishes, which occur in Canada, at the coasts of other lands, or in the open ocean.

‘History of British Fishes,’ 1859, in two volumns, by William Yarrell.

‘An. Introduction to the Study of Fishes,’ 1880, by Dr. Albert Giinther.

‘The Cambridge Natural History’: volumn VII—‘Fishes’—in part by Dr. T. W. Bridge, of
Trinity College, Cambridge, and in part by Dr. G. A. Boulenger, of the Zoological Department of
the British Museum.

‘Catalogue of the Perciform Fishes in the British Museum’ by Dr. Boulenger.

‘The Fishes of Porto Rico,’ by Evermann and Marsh, published in a Bulletin of the United
States, was of similar service concerning the occurrence of certain species at that island

To Dr. L. Hussakof of the American Museum of Natural History I am indebted for a diagnosis
of different species of Myzine, with whom I corresponded on the subject. The diagnosis is from
‘A Revision of the Myxinoids of the Genus Myzine,’ by Mr. C. Tate Regan, of the British Museum.

I have also to mention aid received through Mr. Alex. Finlayson, Inspector of Hatcheries for
the Dominion, whose acquaintance with many of our fishes, especially of our commercial fishes, is
very thorough, in the determination of one, or two specimens which were not readily recognizable
owing to the effects of the preservatives in which they had been kept; and last, but by no means
least, it affords me great pleasure to express my appreciation of the hearty interest shown to me
by Mr. W. A. Found, Superintendent of Fisheries, during the time when the check-list was being
prepared, and for his patience in awaiting its forthcoming. ;

A few words concerning the scheme of classification referred to above. In the present state
of ichthyological knowledge a certain latitude may be allowable, and I may therefore be pardoned
for venturing to arrange families and higher groups provisionally in such a way as for the present
best appears to suit myself. The Cyclostomata naturally divide into two orders, the names here
used for these being—Myxinoides (Hagfishes) and Petromyzontes (Lampreys). Being unready,
as some do, to regard the Plagiostomi (Sharks and Rays) and the Holocephali (Chimeras)
as distinctive sub-classes, I combine them in a single sub-class—Elasmobranchii, of which
the two former are orders. I follow Hasse in sub-dividing the Plagiostomi according to
the structure of the vertebra. These divisions I regard as sub-orders. The names Selachii
and Batoidei (save that the former by some is the name employed for the entire sub-
class, which is then properly equivalent to Elasmobranchii) I discard, for the reason that
the transition from the more primitive sharks through the tectospondylous sharks to the
saw-fishes and more specialized rays, seems to be so marked as to preclude their sub-division in a
way which cannot but be other than artificial; especially as the more natural sub-order Tectos-
pondyli includes forms which it is usual to place with the Selachii on the one hand (although none

.
10 CHECK LIST OF FISHES OF THE DOMINION

such are represented in our waters) and with the Batoidei on the other. Discarding the name
Ganoidei as untenable, I innovate the classification of the Teleostomi by dividing them primarily
into two super-orders—Chondrostei and Teleostei. There is a closer relationship between the
Holostei (Gar-pikes and Amia calva) in many essential particulars and the Teleostei, as recognized,
than there is between the former and the Chondrostei. Therefore I include the Holostei as an
order in the Teleostei. The two names to be sure signify much the same thing, but Holostei may
stand as the name of the most primitive order of the super-order. Conformity to system requires
an order in the super-order Chondrostei, although the super-order and order embrace the same.
This I give as Acipenseroidei (the paddle-fish and the sturgeons). The super-order Teleostei, thus
understood, contains XV orders (only two of which, Symbranchii and Opisthomi, are not repre-
sented in Canada) and I follow Boulenger in their names and arrangement, except that with him
these orders (saving Holostei—here included in Teleostei) are sub-orders, and the super-order—
Teleostei—an order; and his divisions of the Acanthopterygii I regard as sub-orders. Quotations
from Boulenger given as foot-notes in the scheme of classification are intended as explanatory as to
why I adopt his classification. In sub-dividing orders into families and genera, I have in substance
been guided by Jordan and Evermann, and in the names of the species I essentially follow them;
for their assiduity in having determined the priority of the names of the fishes of the continent-
of North and Middle America is obvious and manifest, and speaks for itself. Certain names em-
ployed by Jordan and Evermann, not always with them equal in rank, I have moreover adopted
as sub-orders of some orders.

The check-list is followed by a brief glossary of technical terms, and indices of technical and
vernacular names; and the work is illustrated with 14 plates, from photographs of mounted speci-
mens and casts in the Canadian Fisheries Museum.

1T employ the name Eventognathi for the Cyprinoids as a sub-order instead of Pleetospondyli. The literal
meaning of the latter is woven together vertebra, and the co-ossification of the anterior vertebrae is a character as
true of the siluroids as of the cyprinoids. Nematognathi and Plectospondyli are by some regarded as orders, and
the latter is divisible into 3 sub-orders, viz:—Eventognathi., Heterognathi, and Gymnonoti, the first mentioned
alone of which is represented in our waters. I therefore employ the names Nematognathi and Eventognathi as
sub-orders of the order Ostariophysi.

of a duct to the air bladder separates them from the Percesoces, to some of which, the Scombresocide and the

-3¢A very aberrant type of uncertain affinities. Its only representative is the opah, Lampris luna a large
pelagic fish of wide distribution.” Boulenger.

In the VIIth volume of the Cambridge Natural History (1910) Boulenger places Lampris luna in his division
Seléenichthyes of the sub-order Catosteomi, but later in the XIth edition of thé Encyclopedia Britannica (1911)
he separates Selenichthyes as a distinctive sub-order, and places the rest of Catosteomi in the sub-order Thora-
costei, a group proposed by Swinnerton to-contain Hemibranchii and Lophobranchii.

solidly attached to the clavicular arch.” “Although this sub-order is perhaps only an artificial association, it must
be borne in mind that, notwithstanding the very wide divergence which exists between the first and last families
[Scombresocide and Anabantide], and however dissimilar their members may appear to be at first sight, a gradual
passage may be traced connecting the most aberrant types.” Boulenger.

The following concerning a primitive species of sand-launce (Embolichthys mitsukurit) from Formosa is quoted
from Jordan :—

Pena sbtie the most primitive species of sand-lance, Embolichthys mitsukurit, occurs in Formosa. In this
species, alone of the sand-lances the ventral fins aie retained. These are jugular in position, as in the Zoarcide,
and the rays are I, 3. The discovery of this species makes it necessary to separate the Ammodytide. ... widely from
the Percesoces.”’

Nevertheless not being certain where otherwise to place the family Ammodytide I leave it provisionally
in Percesoces where Boulenger puts it, but it appears evident from the position of the pelvic fins in the above named
species that its affinities are elsewhere.

 

2COhiagsmodon... 1... eeevee eens may be referred to the Percesoces, as the pelvic fins have only a ligamentous
connexion with the pectoral arch.” Boulenger.

‘They form an isolated group, and have no real affinity with the Scombride, with which they have long been
associated.” Boulenger.

 

2“This group is distinguished by a single peculiar character, the extension of the third suborbital bone across
the cheek to or toward the preopercle. From the Craniomi, an offshoot from the same group, in which the develop-
ment of the suborbital stay is carried much farther, the present group is distinguished by the normal character of
the shoulder girdle.” Jordan and Evermann.

 

3“Scapular arch abnormal, the post-temporal forming an integral part of the cranium and the postero-temporal
crowded out of place by the side of the proscapula above or at the edge of the post-temporal. In other respects
essentially as in the Loricati, from which the Craniomi are derived.” Jordan and Evermann.

The families of Craniomi are Triglide, Peristediide, and Cephalacanthidx, no representatives of the second
mentioned of which have been recorded for Canada.

1Reasons for separating this family from the Cycloptertd@ and placing it farther from the Cottide exist in the
continuous dorsal, the connection of dorsal and anal with the caudal, the more complete transformation of the ventral
rays, the more slender and spine-like suborbital process, the expanded upper limb of the preoperculum, the styli-
form inter-operculum, the shorter olfactory nerves, and the more elongate brain.” Jordan and Evermann, after
Garman.

 

?As the young of this family with a single genus, which have comparatively short pectoral fins, were once regarded
as a species belonging to a distinct genus Cephalacanthus, perhaps the valid genus ought to stand Dactylopterus;
and in that case the name of the family would conform to that of the genus—Dactylopteride.

2A well-marked group of small fishes, constituting a single family.’ Jordan and Evermann.

 

3On account of the structure of the precaudal vertebre, Apodichthys and Pholis are not placed by Boulenger
in Blenniide, but in a family—Pholididax—by themselves. I do not venture to so place them, lest in so doing other
genera which may be included in these two by Boulenger (Xererpes for instance) might also for the same reason
require to be placed in Pholidide.

tI am not positive as to the occurrence of this species in our waters, though I have often taken a small
Lamprey in the northern and western streams of Ontario and in the rivers of Manitoba which I believe to be the
Brook Lamprey.’” Nash.

*This specimen which was speared on 6th September, 1906, is in the Provincial Museum at Halifax.

 

fThis specimen was received from Mr. William McIntosh, Curator of the Museum of the Natural History Society

of New Brunswick, for identification. Not having seen the lady-fish before, and as the preservatives have consider-

- ably altered the appearance of the specimen, I should mention that it differs at least in one particular from descriptions
and figures, viz:—the snout does not appear to overlap the mouth. But as this species passes through a meta-

morphosis, being at first a band-shaped larval form, and as this specimen is only about 7 inches in length, whereas

the species attains a length of from 14 ft. to 3ft., possibly every character had not been completed even although

in effect the fish had passed through its metamorphosis when not more than an inch or two in length. This I do

not know, but other external characters, particularly the heavy adipose covers over the eyes, appear to determine

it a specimen of the lady-fish. Internal characters could not be examined, as all the organs had become pasty and

undecipherable.

Alosa sapidissima Wilson. (Plate VII, figure 59).

American Shad.

Anadromous.

Extends, or did extend, from Labrador, Newfoundland, Gulf of St. Lawrence, and Maritime

the shores of St. John and Albert Counties, and ascends the St. John River, New Bruns-
wick; as well as occurring in Chignecto, Cobequid and St. Marys Bays, and Bay Verte,
Maritime Provinces: mentioned as occurring in Gaspe Bay (Stafford, 1905-1906, as
Clupea sapidissima): “formerly abundant in the lower Ottawa, but has abandoned that
river, and its occurrence within our boundaries [Ontario] is now only accidental’ (Nash,
1908,): has been introduced into Pacific coast waters by the United States Fish Com-
mission, and has ‘‘been established in several of the tributaries of the Mississippi River,
notably the Ohio River’’ (Goode, 1888).

Brevoortia tyrannus Latrobe. (Plate VIII, figures 66 and 67).

Menhaden: Mossbunker.

Marine: “probably spawning in brackish water.”

Ranges from Nova Scotia, at least from St. Marys Bay, southward to Brazil;* and mentioned
by Jones (1879) in his “List of the Fishes of Nova Scotia” on the authority of Dr. Gilpin:
being migratorially erratic, its geographical range varies greatly from year to year:
according to Goode (1888), as defined for 1877, its wanderings “‘bounded by the parallels
of north latitude 25° and 45°; on the continental side by the line of brackish water; on
the east by the inner boundary of the Gulf Stream.” f

 

*“Represented on the coast of Brazil by Brevoortia tyrannus aurea Agassiz.” Jordan and Evermann.

 

{Goode goes on to say:—‘In the summer it occurs in the coastal waters of all the Atlantic States from Maine

to Florida, in winter only south to Cape Hatteras: the limits of its winter migration oceanwards cannot. be defined,
though it is demonstrated that the species does not occur about the Bermudas or Cuba, nor presumably in the
Caribbean Sea.’

*“Tt is to be found throughout the Great Lakes region from Lake Champlain to Lake Superior, and possibly

to Lake Winnipeg. It has been reported commercially from Lake of the Woods, Lake Winnipeg and Northwest
Territory, but all references to its occurrence west of Lake Superior need verification. All specimens of so-called
whitefish from Lake of the Woods which have been examined by any ichthyologist belong to a different species—
the Labrador whitefish (Coregonus labradoricus), and this is doubtless the species which the Canadian Fish Commission
reports call the ‘whitefish’ when referring to localities west of Lake Superior.” Jordan and Evermann.

*This species is subject to great variation, and although all the varieties bear the specific name of namaycush
there is considerable reason for the popular distinctions such as salmon-trout, gray trout, and Mackinaw trout.
Structurally, however, it has not appeared to ichthyologists that there are sufficient distinctions to warrant the
separation of varieties into sub-species, except in the following.

 

TThis species varies greatly in size and coloration according to the character of the waters in which it occurs.
Nipigon Lake, Ontario, is noted for its large sized individuals.

{Whilst engaged in some fisheries matters in the month of May, 1903, I found some specimens of the American
Smelt floating dead on the surface of the water of Lac des Isles, in the Gatineau district, P.Q. It is known that this
species of fish exists land-locked in fresh water lakes in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and in the State of Maine,
but its occurrence in a lake so far away from the sea as Lac des Isles, is perhaps worthy of mention. The specimens
are dwarfed, otherwise the external characters appear to agree with the ordinary Osmerus mordaz.

Little is known of its range to the northward.” Jordan and Evermann.

 

TG. callarias, G. macrocephalus, and G. ogac, are very closely allied, and in assigning specific rank to each it is

not easy from ichthyological works to determine just where the northern range of (’, callarias is as the three forms
are often treated of as one and the same species. Tor instance, Goode says:—‘The codfish is usually found in the
North Atlantic, in the North Pacific, and in the Polar Ocean, its range extending far beyond the Arctic Circle’—
thns making no discrimination of species.

Marine.

Reputed to have been recorded off Newfoundland:f ‘‘common on the northern coasts of
Europe, Iceland, and Greenland” (Giinther, 1880, as MM. vulgarts): in the British Is-
lands—“‘ among the Western Islands, in the Orkneys, and on the Yorkshire coast; in
Cornwall, and the Scilly Islands; and the species may be traced nearly all round the
Irish coast” (Yarrell, 1859, as Lota molva): ranges ‘‘from Spitzbergen to the Gulf of
Gascony.......... most abundant along the coast of northern Europe, especially in
the German Ocean and off Norway” (Jordan and Evermann)

 

*“The American Burbot is very close to the common species of northern Europe and Asia, Lotalota ........ and
may prove wholly identical with the latter.” Jordan and Evermann. Giinther does not distinguish the two, for
he says:—‘‘It is locally distributed in Central and Northern Europe and North America.” If the two are to be
regarded as forms of one and the same species then the geographical range of the fresh water ling is in all probability
nearly co-extensive with the fresh waters of the northern part of the northern hemisphere.

 

T‘‘It is said to have been found in deep water off Newfoundland, but we have been unable to find the specific
record.” Jordan and Evermann.

* “This fish is seldom found north of Cape Cod. About the year 1833, an attempt was made to introduce them
[sic] into the waters north of the Cape, but with no success, the water proving too cold to enable them to breed'there.
The only authority that the writer possesses as to their existence on the coast of Nova Scotia, is, the ‘Official Circular’
from Mr. Gidney, the collector of Sandy Cove, in which it is stated that porgies are occasionally seen in St. Mary’s

Bay.

If they are the true porgies they have probably strayed from a warmer latitude in pursuit of food.” Knight.

Warm seas; ranging northward on the western side of the Atlantic to the Bermudas and

pelamys):* also recorded from coast of California: coasts of Europe,—including
coasts of Britain (Yarrell, 1859, as Thynnus pelamys).

 

*The small specimen upon which this record is based is in a very poor state of preservation and hard to determine,
but judging by what can be made out from the ragged and broken condition of the fins and their rays, and the other-
wise mutilated condition of the specimen it does not appear to be this species. Certain of its characiers, some of
them more or less obscure, are as follows:—Maxillary not reaching the posterior border of the orbit: pectorals about
mid-way between dorsal and ventra] outlines: caudal deeply forked: anterior dorsal elongate with 20 rays: posterior
dorsal and anal short: 8 dorsal and 7 anal finlets: many other characters obscured, with little but the flesh remaining
on the left side, and skin of the right scaleless, except very small scales, forming a corselet, which does not appear
to extend beyond the pectoral fin. It would appear to agree more closely with Sarda than with Gymnosarda.

# Two specimens of this species were caught in the Chedabucto Bay trap-nets. They were wholly unfamiliar
to the fishermen, and are apparently rarely seen at Canso.”’ Cornish.

 

{Two specimens were taken in the trap-nets by local fishermen, to whom the fish was unknown before. The
specimens were found to differ from the description of Drs. Jordan and Evermann in two respects—there are no
scales on the cheeks, and along the side, a bright golden yellow band passes longitudinally below the lateral line
anteriorly; but about midway it crosses and then passes back above the lateralline.” Cornish. Mr. Cornish queries
the species. :

GLOSSARY OF TECHNICAL TERMS

Anadromous.—Passing from the sea into fresh waters, as the salmon and certain other fishes do
in order to spawn.

Bathybial.—Living in depths: said of fishes and other creatures which inhabit the depths of the
ocean.

Bayous.—Plural of bayou: a term employed to signify a channel proceeding from a lake or river.
Bayou is from a French word, signifying a long narrow channel or gut. As applied to a chainnel
proceeding from a river or lake it appears to be a United States term and is adopted here.

Brackish.—Salt water diluted with fresh water, as at the mouths of rivers and estuaries.

Catadromous.—Passing from fresh water into the sea, as the eel does to spawn.

Fluviatile-—Pertaining to rivers: inhabiting rivers.

Lacustrine.—lertaining to lakes: inhabiting lakes.

Landlockea.—Inclosed or encompassed by land: a term employed in regard to certain varieties of
marine fishes which live in lakes having no direct communication with the sea: for instance,

the ouananiche..

Marine.—As a term employed in the check-list to denote such fishes as inhabit the sea without
respect to the open sea or the depths.

Parasitic.—Dependence of an animal or plant upon another animal or plant for subsistence by
living in or on it.

Pelagic.—Belonging to the ocean: inhabiting the open ocean.

The symbol of Mars, 7, is the zoological mark for the male, that of Venus, ¢ , for the female.
[In the figures in the plates wherever the sexes are outwardly different, and in cases where the sexes
are not outwardly different, but where sex was determined when the specimens were opened, males
and females are distinguished by those symbols. In other instances it is impossible to indicate sex.]
