Mud Sun Fish, 
In a pool near Pensauken, Burlington county, on January 7th, 
1906, two were found with the cat-fish already mentioned. One 
was nearly 5 inches long and the other smaller. They were 
more dull or pale olive-brown than the pine barrens or cedar 
swamp examples. 
Color in life olive-brown above, becoming brassy on sides, 
especially on opercle and costal region. On side 5 longitudinal 
bands of dusky-olive, not very conspicuous. First band along 
upper profile of back, second just below, third from upper pos- 
terior margin of eye, fourth from lower posterior margin of eye, 
and fifth from below eye. Opercle with a black spot size of 
pupil. Lower surface of head translucent or very dilute olive. 
Iris deep olivaceous, narrow ring of rich brownish encircling 
pupil and inner edge of this very light to golden. Dorsal pale 
translucent olive, and rayed portion with a few obsolete dusky 
spots along base. Anal similar, but rayed fin more deeply olive 
basally, marginally broadly pale slaty, and this color separated 
by a dark longitudinal streak. Caudal pale olivaceous, mar- 
ginally slaty, and basally sprinkled with obsolete specks of dusky. 
Lower and upper margin of caudal translucent, inclining to slaty 
or grayish. Pectoral transparent or dilute olive. Ventral trans- 
parent to whitish or nearly colorless, its anterior margin and 
spine translucent grayish, and behind this between first and third 
rays a rather deep dusky shade becoming olivaceous at base of 
fin. Length about 5% inches. ‘Taken in the debris along the 
banks of the Pensauken Creek, near Pensauken, April 28th, 1907. 
It is rather tenacious and will live some little time out of water. 
Ai single adult was taken in the sphagnum beds of the Ran- 
cocas Creek above New Lisbon, Burlington county, May 12th.
