May 12. Only three out of 16 fishes of lot 3 contained midges, while 
all but “our contained earthworms and half of them con- 
tained a large amount of silt. 
May 21. Lot 4 shows a large number of adult midges of the genus 
Chironomus and many earthworms. And one of them con- 
tained a single large mass of Chironomus eggs, the only 
instance in which these were found. 
June 1. Lot 5 shows one adult Chironomus and earthworms 
June 6. And silt predominates in lot 6. 
“Out of 92 stomachs examined, 38 (41 per cent.) con- 
tained midges in one stage or another, 27 (20 per cent.) con- 
tained earthworms, 6 contained beetles, all adult beetles of 
non-aquatie habits, 3 contained entomostracans, 2 contained 
ants, and only 1 contained a May-fly nymph. This clearly 
shows that Chironomus was by far the most important 
food.”

the eges of fishes.”

the stomach contents to be as follows:
