Mar., 1920] Food and Fish Associates of Young Perch 141 



Fauna: Adults of Percina caprodes zebra and Notropis 

 hudsoni. Fry of Percina caprodes zebra, perch, brook silversides, 

 small mouthed bass. 



The slender fry of the brook silversides were exceedingly 

 abundant at the surface in this locality. 



Locality 9. Level rubble beach with trees along the water's 

 edge affording shade and attachment for moss patches. Spike 

 rushes were plentiful from the water's edge to thirty feet from 

 shore. The beach was so situated as to be subject to constant 

 wave action. 



Fauna: Adults of Cottogaster coplandi, Percina caprodes 

 zebra and minnows and fry of small mouthed bass were taken 

 along the beach in three feet of water. Adults of Cottogaster 

 coplandi, Etheostoma flabellare and fry of Etheostoma flabellare 

 and millers thumb (Cottus ictalops) were taken in the moss 

 patches and under stones along the water's edge. 



Locality 10. Clean rubble beach with steep slope. 



Fauna: Adults of Percina caprodes zebra and a five inch 

 pickerel. Fry of perch, Percina caprodes zebra, small mouthed 

 bass and minnows. 



The fry of the small mouthed bass were very abundant here. 



Locality 11. Flat, sandy beach with a few large isolated 

 boulders; water from one to four feet deep for one hundred 

 yards from shore; spike rushes and pond weeds along shore. 



Fauna: Adults of suniish, Percina caprodes zebra, brook 

 silversides, and Notropis hudsoni. Fry of perch, small mouthed 

 bass, large mouthed bass, and Percina caprodes zebra. 



The single adult of the brook silversides taken here was the 

 only one taken in forty-two localities. 



Locality 12. Character of the locaHty same as that of 

 locality 11 with the exception of a solid concrete wall along the 

 shore. 



Fauna: Adults of minnows were taken at the surface of the 

 water but no other fish. 



The concrete wall along the shore line and the total absence 

 of vegetation would make this a very unfavorable locality for 

 fish and their fry. 



Locality 15. Shallow pond at Perry Monument with mud 

 bottom; much submerged and floating vegetation. 



Fauna: Adult mud minnows (Umbra lima) and Notropis 

 hudsoni and fry of carp.
