APPENDIX. 
INTRODUCED SPECIES. 
In this appendix the known introduced species of fishes within 
the limits of the state are given. The prime object in the intro- 
duction of most of them was, of course, their utility as either 
food or game animals. In preparing this account I was so for- 
tunate as to procure some interesting information from Mr. James 
M. Stratton, of the Fish and Game Commission. Mr. Stratton 
kindly criticised my list, informing me that the enumeration of 
the introduced species is correct. He also states that the Com- 
mission makes no attempt to introduce any species but large and 
small mouthed black bass, pike, perch, white or silver bass, 
strawberry bass and crappie. The tench, ide, common or 
round white fish, lake herring or cisco, tullibee, lake tahoe 
trout, steel head trout, lockleven trout, rainbow trout, swiss 
lake trout, lake trout, sunapee trout, warmouth and green sun 
fish have never been introduced by the Fish and Game Commis- 
sion. If any do occur they have been brought here by private 
individuals and placed in private waters. 
Family CYPRINIDZA. 
The Carps. 
The species introduced into our waters all belong to the Cy- 
prinine, or those with an elongate dorsal fin, and both dorsal and 
anal preceeded by a serrated spine. The teeth on the pharyngeals 
are molar.
