NOTE: At the time my book was going through the press, I was under the impression that the fish known in this country as a Sucker was the same as the Mullet, but had no intention that the latter name should find its way into the text in place of Sucker. See page 41. According to Richardson, one of the best authorities we have, the Sucker is of the Carp family, the scientific name of which is _Cyprinus Hudsonius_, or Sucking Carp. On page 127, "and, as their lives had theretofore," read heretofore.
