In 1920 work was done on three lakes: -lake Pepin, which is a part of the Mississippi River and yet shows typical lacustrine conditions; Lake Michigan, representative of primitive lake habitats for the St. Lawrence drainage; and Lake Geneva, the clearest and deepest lake on the Mississippi drain age. The study oi the ecology of the Wisconsin lake fishes has progressed to such a stage that it is now possible to compare the fishes in six different types of lakes. Though this paper deals primarily with the three lakes studied during 1920, it also makes comparisons between all the lakes investigated, and thus gives a general summary of the work. Table I contains data relating to all the lakes considered. The lakes are arranged according to the total volume of water.
