 LIST OF FISHES FOUND IN LAKE MA.X1NKUCKEE. 



The outlet of Lake Maxinkuckee is a small winding stream which 

 empties into the Tippecanoe River a short distance below the Logans- 

 port and Terre Haute Railroad Bridge. The distance of the mouth of 



I this stream from its origin is about 3 miles on a straight line, but by 

 its windings about 9 miles. At the present time a high dam on the 



| stream effectually prevents the passage of fish to the lake from the 

 river. Residents in the vicinity state that before the dam was built 

 many fishes not now found in the lake, but known in the river, were 

 abundant in the lake. The waters of the lake are clear and cold, being 

 fed in part by small streams, but also by many strong springs in the bot- 

 tom of the lake. This lake is about 2 miles long by 1 wide. It has 

 recently been sounded and found to be in one part 70 feet deep. 



The following fishes were obtained from the lake during the month of 

 August, 1886, by O. P. Jenkins : 



1. Lepisosteus osseus. Oue specimen obtained by Dr. Scovell in 1887; one 



seen by Professor Evermann. 



2. Amia calva. Common. 



3. Ameiurus melas. Common. 



4. Ameiurus natalis. One specimen. 



5. Pimephales notatus. Common. 



6. Notropis heterodon. One specimen by Dr. Scovell. 



7. Semotilus atromaculatus. Common. 



8. Fundnlus diapbanus menoua. Very abundant. 



9. Labidesthes siccnlus. Common. 



10. Lepomis cyanellus. Very common. 



11. Lepomis megalotis. Obtained by Dr. Scovell. 



12. Lepomis pall idns. Common. Oue specimen was obtained which was 11 



inches to the base of the caudal fin. 



13. Micropterus salmoides. Abundant. 



14. Micropterus dolomieu. Common. 



15. Perca flavescens. Abundant.
