A comparison of meristic and morphological characteristics in series of freshwater drum from the lower Ohio River, Kentucky, and Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin, indicates that there are statistically significant differences in some measurements along the long axis of the body. However, there is a remarkable stability among meristic characteristics within the species that has persisted essentially in its present form since early postglacial times.
