Eeeves ('07) on the Rainbow Darter. 



Kendall and Goldsboroiigli (-08) on the Common 



Sucker and on a number of other species. 



Kendall ('10) oncatfishes; ('17) on pikes; ('18) on sev- 

 eral species represented in Illinois. 



Fowler ('12; '17; '17a) on many species, mostly min- 

 nows and suckers. 



Embody ('11) growth data on several species. 



Crevecoeur ('08) on Campostoma. 



Barker ('18) on the Brook Stickleback. 



Jaffa ('17) on the Iowa Darter. 



Shira ('17; 17a) on the Channel Cat. 



Pearse, A. S., ('19) on the Black Crappie. 



Hankinson ('08; '20) on a number of fish in southern 

 Michigan, also found in Illinois. 



Wright and Allen ('13) give a table with the important 

 facts concerning the life-histories of many common spe- 

 cies; and Gill ('07) includes a few notes on breeding of 

 specie's present in Illinois. Some life-history data is given 

 by Johnston and Stapleton ('15) . In many local lists notes 

 of value on life-histories are published. Important among 

 these from the standpoint of Illinois ichthyology are the 

 lists by Bensley ('15), Nash ('08), Ellis ('14), and Smith 

 ('07). 



The twelve species of fish, upon the life-histories of 

 which the writer has obtained data through field studies 

 chiefly in the region about Charleston, Illinois, are as fol- 

 lows: Chub Sucker; Common Sucker; Common Red- 

 horse: Hogsucker; Stone-roller; Blunt-nosed Minnow; 

 Horned Dace; Silver-mouth Minnow; River Chub; Green 

 Sunfish, Long-eared Sunfish ; and Johnny Darter. 



These fish all breed in shallow parts of streams in this 

 locality and during the spring. The breeding season for 

 the two sunfish, the darter, the Blunt-nosed Minnow, and 

 the River Chub extends into the summer. The sunfish 

 appear to nest chiefly at this time, breeding as late as 

 August, The Common Sucker, Stone-roller, and Horned
