FISHES. 



The following list of our fishes includes only the few that I have 

 identified. For reasons already stated, I could not devote myself 

 to a special investigation of our fish fauna. One-half of our species 

 are not included in this list. 



The waters of Nebraska are eminently adapted. to the artificial 

 propagation of fish. Even the trout can be successfully reared in 

 many of our streams, especially in some like the Bows, in north 

 Nebraski. These Bow Rivers are largely made up of the most 

 delicious springs along the greater length of their course, and where 

 these are most abundant never freeze over in winter. The Bazile 

 is equally well adapted to this industry. There are also many kinds 

 that will flourish in the Elkhorn and its tributaries, the Nemahas 

 and their tributaries, and the Blues and Loups and their tributaries. 

 There are other rivers and their tributaries that could be stocked 

 equally well with choice fish. 



BONY FISHES. 



Many-lined Bass (Labrax multilinealns}. Missouri River. 



Pike Perch (Leuciaperea griscd). Occasionally found in the 

 Missouri. 



The Growler (Grystes salmoides}. Rare. Missouri and Ne- 

 maha. 



Black Bass (Centrarchus fasciatus). Elkhorn, Logan, etc. 



Centrarchus pent acanthus. Nemaha. Rare. 



Pond Fish (Pomotis vulgaris). Common in most of our streams.
