FURTHER NOTES ON NEW JERSEY FISHES. 151 



Those taken at White Reach were about a pound, or a httle over, 

 in weight. A small one was found at the mouth of Fishing 

 Creek on May 5th, 1907. 



Two dark examples taken in a pond near Pensauken, Burling- 

 ton county, January 7th, 1906. They were about three inches 

 long. 



Color in life dusky-olive above, rather olivaceous on sides and 

 becoming whitish below, with slight coppery tints. Under sur- 

 face of head and belly whitish, with coppery reflections. Fins 

 all dusky, also barbels. Iris whitish. Length 3^4 inches. A 

 number were taken in the debris along the banks of the Pen- 

 sauken Creek, near Pensauken, April 28th, 1907. 



In the south branch of Big Timber Creek, near Grenloch, 

 Camden county, on May 19th, 1907, several small cat fish were 

 found associated with Umbra and Bnncacanthus in a muddy pud- 

 dle. They were slaty-brown above and pale whitish on lower sur- 

 faces of head and abdomen.

 Hurdtown, in Morris county, there are reports of blind cat-fish.

 not over 10 inches. It may hardly be possible that they are really 

 Gronias? 



Small examples with black barbels were found in a pool near 

 Sumner, on the north branch of Big Timber Creek, in Camden 

 county, on October 20th, 1907, They were associated with 

 Umbra and Bnneacanthiis.
