occasioned. The following kinds of fish were found dead 

 with lamprey scars upon them: Dog Fish, Eel, Carp, 

 Common Sucker, Chain Pickerel and Small-mouthed 

 Black Bass. 



Amiatus calvus (Linnaeus) Dog Fish. 



A large dead one was found in the water at Walnut 

 Point with a lamprey injury on it. 



Salmo salar (Linn.), Atlantic Salmon. 



Recorded on the authority of Sir John Richardson 

 (1836), who in his Fauna Boreali-americana says that 

 they enter Oneida Lake in May and remain until winter. 



Leucichthys tullibee (Richardson), Tullibee. 



A number of specimens were obtained from the market. 

 The fishermen report the fish common in certain deep 

 areas of the lake. Those seen by us were all of market- 

 able size and in good condition. Fall specimens opened 

 contained many well-developed ova. They spawn late in 

 the fall. Locally known as Oneida Lake Whitefish. 



Anguilla rostrata (DeKay), Eel. 



A large dead one was found with a lamprey scar. The 

 important eel fishery is at Coughdenhoy, four miles down 

 Oneida River, the lake outlet. 



« 

 Cyprinus carpio (Linn.), Carp. 



A number found dead in the lake and several were 

 secured from Coville, the fish dealer, at Brewerton. 

 There is much local prejudice against this fish. Only 

 scaled specimens have been secured by us. 



Moxostoma aureolum (LeSueur), Red Horse. 



None were collected by us, but the species is recorded 

 from the lake by Jordan and Evermann 1896 and Bean 

 1903, but market specimens from Syracuse and Brewer- 

 ton have been secured. It is locally known as "Red-fin 

 Sucker."
