Hybognathus nuchalis regius (Girard). 



Silvery Minnow. 



Abundant in the Delaware Eiver, near Florence, Burlington county, 

 on July 11th, 1908. They were mostly small, and not associated with 

 other fishes, swimming in rather large schools just a little off shore. 



This was abundant in the Delaware Eiver, at Kewbold's Island, 

 Burlington county, on August 13th. 1908. They occurred in some 

 places in small schools, appearing not to associate very much with the 

 other fishes, and usually were found about the clearer, clean, sandy 

 shallows or shores. One very large or adult example was secured, and 

 all exhibited the usual silvery-white coloration, none being brassy. 



I have found this species several times in the Delaware, about Bur- 

 lin2:ton Island.
