aided considerably by making field records while the collecting 

 was going on. Information useful to the writer in these investiga- 

 tions was given by N. A. Wood and Dr. Lee R. Dice, both of the 

 Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, and by J. C. Kraemer, 

 Frank Sawyer, and A. Whitmayer, all three of whom are residents 

 of the region and familiar with the fish there. Small examples of 

 a few species of fish could not be identified by the writer, and these 

 were named for him by Henry W. Fowler, of the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. Miss Ada Weckel, of Oak 

 Park, Illinois, identified the amphipods collected. 



Very little attention has apparently been given heretofore to 

 the fish of the Galien River, for the only references to Hterature 

 on the fish of the stream that can be found are those that pertain 

 to plantings of brook trout, wall-eyed pike, and small-mouth 

 black bass {Reports of the State Board of Fish Commissioners of 

 Michigan for 1905, p. 28; 1913, p. 22; iii; and 1915, p. 81). 



The Galien River is a small river arising from many streams 

 and lakes in the southern third of Berrien County, chiefly south of 

 Lighton, east of New Buffalo, and west of Buchanan, and entering 

 Lake Michigan at New Buffalo (map. Fig. i). The south branch, 

 which is its most important tributary, joins the main stream near 

 Union Pier. The Warren Woods are about seven miles up the 

 stream from the mouth; and the river here was given especial 

 attention, but collections were made in a number of its other parts. 

 Each of the places fished was given a number and called a station. 

 The stations outside the woods are located as accurately as possible 

 on the accompanying map. The numbers used are not consecutive 

 so that others may be added for future work, using the same 

 notation. The stations are listed below with a brief description 

 of each. 



Station i. — Mouth of the Galien River at New Buffalo, where 

 the river cuts through the broad, low, sandy beach of Lake Michi- 

 gan. Here the stream expanded from a usual width of about a
