FISHES OF NEW YORK i 



The number of fishes included in this catalogue is 375, of which 

 371 are named, and the following four, which have only recently 

 been discovered in the state, should be added to the list: no. 76.V 

 "bullhead minnow, no. 91^ silver-jawed minnow, no. 94^ silver 

 chub, no. 255|^ northern darter. Of these species 217 are marine, 

 141 fresh-water, and 17 anadromous. The number of intro- 

 duced species is 15, and the number whose occurrence in New 

 York waters is doubtful is 18. The small number of fresh- 

 water species would be remarkable but for the fact that no 

 extensive investigations have recently been made of the fresh 

 waters of the interior of the state, and the catalogue is in that 

 respect simply incomplete.
