l.iST OF I'^isii vnoM L()\vi:r SoL^Tii Ray 



That this rich food sup])ly is made use of by the fish popu- 

 lation of this region is evidenced by the following partial list 

 of species inhabiting Lower South Ray and vicinity, furnished 

 by Dr. C. C. Adams and Professor T. L. Hankinson. The 

 fish were most abundant in shallow places usually where there 

 was considerable vegetation and hence an abundance of food. 

 It is .also to be noted that there is an abundance of the smaller 

 lish for such fish as the Pickerel, Pike, and Rlack Rass, and also 

 a great (piantity of invertebrate animals which serve as food 

 for these smaller fish. In fact, the food problem seems to 

 have been abundantly provided for by the amount and variety 

 of the animals and plants in this region, and it is apparent 

 that there is here a natural food supply for a very large 

 number of our most valuable food and game fishes.
