12 [[double underlined]] Fred Mather[[/double underrlined]], [[underline]] Adirondack Lakes, New York. [[/underlined]] [[red underlined]] Accession [[/red underlined]] 13811; [[red underlined]] Catalogue [[/red underline]] 33917-33919. Mr. Mather has described, for the Adirondack Survey Report, two new species of [[underlined]] Catostomus[[/underlined]] and forwarded the types to the National Museum. One of these is [[underlined]] Catostomus nanomyzon[[/underlined]] Mather, from a tributary of Big Moose Lake. I am inclined to think that these are simply young, or dwarfed, examples of [[underlined]] Catostomus longirostrum,[[/underlined]] which have early begun reproduction. I can see no specific characters to warrant this separation from [[underlined]] longirostrum. [[/underlined]] [[underlined]] Catostomus retowana [[/underlined]] Mather, from Blue Mountain Lake, Hamilton Co., New York and also from Big Moose Lake, I should call [[underlined]] C. teres [[/underlined]] (Mitch.), the commonest of the northern suckers. The fact that these two species were found spawning when of small size does not warrant their separation as distinct species, this being probably a climatic phenomenon. [[double underlined]] Lewis G. Mitchell, [[/double underlined]][[underlined]]Barnegat, New Jersey. [[/underlined]] [[red underlined]] Accession [[/red underlined]] 13671; [[red underlined]] Catalogue [[/red underline]] 33197. Mr. Mitchell forwarded a fine adult specimen of [[underlined]] Pomacanthus arcuatus,[[/underlined]] which we have not before known to exist in our seas north of Florida. A color sketch and a cast were made and Mr. Todd is now at work on a drawing of both the adult and the young.
