FURTHER NOTES ON NEW JERSEY FISHES. 141 
true minnows are not so abundant now as formerly, when the 
water was clear and not polluted, and also believes that to the 
same cause may be traced the scarcity of large white perch. He 
thinks the toothed minnows (Pecilud@), however, have not been 
affected by the change. 
Abramis crysoleucas (Mitchill). 
Roach. 
A number of young were taken in Kinkora Creek, near Kin- 
kora, Burlington county, on October 15th, 1906, by Mr. T. D. 
Keim and myself. 
On May sth Mr. H. Walker Hand and myself took a small 
example in the fresh-water of Fishing Creek, where it flows over 
the beach, with Fundulus and Cyprinodon. Several small exam- 
ples were taken later in the same outlet at Ross's mill pond. 
Owing to the very dark water they were even darker than those 
in Dennis Creek last year. ‘The black lateral band was conspicu- 
ous along the side, and their bodies were reflected with the 
deepest of metallic blue-green or steel-green. Mr. H. Walker 
Hand has taken large or adult examples in Ross’s mill pond, 
tributary to Fishing Creek. 
Young were abundant in the quiet shallows of the pond at 
Turnersville tributary to south branch of Big Timber Creek, 
Gloucester county, on May roth, 1907. In most all such places 
they were found associated with Notropis chalybeus. ‘They were 
not dark, like those from Dennis and Fishing Creeks, in Cape 
May county, but resembled those from Pennsylvania waters with 
their paler blue or green lateral reflections. Several large ones 
in the rapid water were probably this species. 
Found in the pond at Clementon, basin of north branch of 
Big Timber Creek, in Camden county, on October 20th, 1907. 
They are used for bass-bait by the fishermen, and kept in rather 
large live-cans which are submerged. ‘The usual size is half- 
grown.
