Our list of Oneida Lake fishes is not to be considered a complete one. We 

 seined the shoals around the entire lake quite thoroughly, but we could not, of 

 course, thoroughly fish the deep water, and we knew of no satisfactory way of 

 securing complete collections from bordering marsh and swamp waters. Further- 

 more, the barge canal system, of which the lake is a part, has been considerably 

 developed since the time when the bulk of our collections were made (in 1915 

 and 1916) and this has quite likely given access to species which we did not then 

 find. Any one or all of the following listed species may be present in Oneida 

 Lake, but no specimens were secured. The starred names represent species 

 recorded in literature, but of which we have not actually seen specimens known 

 to have been taken in Oneida Lake. This hyi>i)thetical list is as follows:
