Deposition of Eijys. This refers to the place where the egL;"s are laid. Those 

 laid on stones and on water plants and other objects are attached by adhesive ccats. 



Breeding Season. This is marked by horizontal lines passing through columns 

 for the months in which the fish is known to breed. Scarcity of information on 

 the breeding seasons of our fishes make it evident that the true breeding periods in 

 many cases are much longer than is shown by these lines. This is especially true 

 with the cyprinids and other non-food or non-game fishes, which have received 

 relativelv little attention. 



IDENTIFICATION OF ONEIDA LAKE FISHES 



By T. L. Haxkixsox 



The terminology used in this account of Oneida Lake fishes is modified some- 

 what from that recently advocated by Hubbs ('-26). Some of the old technical 

 names of genera and species are used, when their use appears still to be allowable, 

 and where substitutions of new names would involve many changes in the body of 

 the manuscript, which was largely completed at the time of the appearance of 

 Hubbs' list. Furthermore, many of the quotations include the names used by 

 Jordan and Evermann ('96, '98) and the extensive use of new terms might con- 

 fuse a reader not familiar with the synononiy. 



A key to all the species of fish which we know are found in Oneida Lake fol- 

 lows, but descriptions have been omitted since these can be found in Jordan and 

 Evermann ('96 and '98) or in Bean ('03). Many of the names have been changed 

 since the appearance of Bean's work, therefore a list of the species is here given, 

 accompanied by the names used by Bean (03).
