12 .-- I removed my camp down Comet Creek, and followed the Mackenzie for a few miles, as far as it was easy travelling along its bank.

Comet Creek joins the Mackenzie in a very acute angle; the direction of the latter being east, and the course of the former, in its lower part, north-west.

Our anglers caught several fine fishes and an eel, in the water-holes of the Mackenzie.

The former belonged to the Siluridae, and had four fleshy appendages on the lower lip, and two on the upper; dorsal fin 1 spine 6 rays, and an adipose fin, pectoral 1 spine 8 rays; ventral 6 rays; anal 17 rays; caudal 17-18 rays; velvety teeth in the upper and lower jaws, and in the palatal bones.

Head flat, belly broad; back of a greenish silver-colour; belly silvery white; length of the body 15-20 inches.
