& Hunt, we sampled 28 other localities 

 in the county. In sampling these stations, 

 we used either a 20-foot by 4-foot nylon 

 minnow seine of three -sixteenths -inch 

 mesh or a rowboat shocker (Larimore, 

 Durham, & Bennett 1950). The seine 

 sampling, aimed at filling in distributional 

 gaps where blocked-off sampling stations 



were widely separated, was of varying in-

 a list of species from each locality. Row- 

 boat shocking had the same objective and, 

 with few exceptions, was used only when 

 the stream was too large to permit the ef- 

 fective use of minnow seines. Some sam- 

 pling by both methods was done on re-
