FURTHER NOTES ON NEW JERSEY FISHES. 151 
Those taken at White Reach were about a pound, or a little over, 
in weight. A small one was found at the mouth of Fishing 
Creek on May 5th, 1907. 
Two dark examples taken in a pond near Pensauken, Burling- 
ton county, January 7th, 1906. ‘They were about three inches 
long. 
Color in life dusky-olive above, rather olivaceous on sides and 
becoming whitish below, with slight coppery tints. Under sur- 
face of head and belly whitish, with coppery reflections. Fins 
all dusky, also barbels. Iris whitish. Length 31% inches. A 
number were taken in the debris along the banks of the Pen- 
sauken Creek, near Pensauken, April 28th, 1907. 
In the south branch of Big Timber Creek, near Grenloch, 
Camden county, on May 19th, 1907, several small cat fish were 
found associated with Umbra and Enneacanthus in a muddy pud- 
dle. ‘They were slaty-brown above and pale whitish on lower sur- 
faces of head and abdomen. 
Mr. S. H. Hamilton says that in the “gob” of Hurd mine, at 
Hurdtown, in Morris county, there are reports of blind cat-fish. 
This hole is said to be over a mile in depth and is filled with dark 
water to its surface. The eyes are described as being inconspicuous 
and covered with thick skin. These fish are also taken by the for- 
eign population and used as food. The largest seen were, perhaps, 
not over 10 inches. It may hardly be possible that they are really 
Gromas? 
Small examples with black barbels were found in a pool near 
Sumner, on the north branch of Big Timber Creek, in Camden 
county, on October 20th, 1907. They were associated with 
Umbra and Enneacanthus. 
Schilbeodes gyrinus (Mitchill).
