FURTHER NOTES ON NEW JERSEY FISHES. 145 



Gloucester county, on April ist, 1906. These fishes were only 

 found in the running water near or about the sand bars where 

 comparatively shallow, or in places where there were pebbles and 

 small stones. In habit they were rather quiet as a rule, or not 

 very active. As seen in the water they appear similar to those 

 found so commonly in the Pennsylvania tributaries of the Dela- 

 ware. None were found in the deep pools. The larger examples 

 showed the satiny-white pigment but little developed on the 

 dorsal and anal fins, and a few small ones also had it developed 

 a little, though comparatively much less distinct. They did not 

 appear to be spawning. All exhibited the lateral silvery band 

 from orbit to- caudal rather conspicuously. 



Those taken near Mantua, on April 8th, 1906, had the caudal 

 slightly ruddy in life, and the edges of the scales slightly dusky. 

 Sides with a sheen of greenish. Iris silvery. 



Found in Kinkora Creek, near Kinkora, Burlington county, on 

 October 15th, 1906. 



Notropis cornutus (Mitchill). 



Red Fin. 



Found young in Edv.'ard's Run, tributary of Mantua Creek, 

 in Gloucester county, on November 3d, 1907. B. W. Griffiths 

 and H. W. Fowler. 



Notropis chalybaeus (Cope). 



Blue Green Minnow. 



' Abundant, both adults and fry, in the Pensauken Creek, near 

 Merchantville and Pensauken, Burlington county, January 7th, 

 1906. They were all pale and like the typical Delaware River 

 type. Also on April 28th, 1907, when small schools were found 

 about the shallows. The individuals were all of small size, or 

 barely 1^2 inches in length. No examples highly pigmented. 

 They apparently form food for the numerous small pike which 

 Avould dart out and among them.
