shallow waters, although through the assistance of the officials of the Oneida 

 Hatchery at Constantia, on the north shore, collections in deeper water were also 

 secured, and many additional specimens were bought from the fish market at 

 Brewerton, through the aid of Messrs. Davison and Coville. 



The determination of the taxonomic questions has fallen to the junior author, 

 assisted by Dr. W. C. Kendall, Dr. H. W. Fowler, Dr. Carl Hubbs and .Mr. Wil- 

 ford A. Dence. Dr. Hubbs made available the extensive collections of fish at the 

 Museum of Zoology at Ann Arbor and in addition freely gave an abundance of his 

 time in helping with the determination of difficult forms, such as the small 

 Notropis. The Oneida Lake collections, as has been stated, are extensive and are 

 generally accompanied by detailed field notes and numerous photographs. 



We wish to express our appreciation to the former Dean of the New York 

 State College of Forestry, Dr. Hugh P. Baker, who earnestly aided the initiation 

 of these investigations ; to the present Dean of the College, Franklin F. Moon ; to 

 Division Chief W. H. Weston, of the New York State Department of Conserva- 

 tion ; and to the Commission itself for various favors: to Messrs. Davison and 

 Coville, fish dealers of Brewerton, N. Y., for valuable assistance ; and to the various 

 naturalists and local residents who have cooperated in some manner. To members 

 of the Roosevelt Station Staff at the time, to the Director, Dr. Charles E. Johnson, 

 Assistant Director Alvin G. Whitney, and to Dr. W. C. Kendall and Mr. Wilford 

 A. Dence, Ichthyologists, we are under many obligations for assistance. The 

 authors also wish to thank the Field Museum of Natural History of Chicago for 

 the use of the 13 cuts of fish used in this report. The colored plates were made 

 in cooperation with the Commissioners of the Palisades Interstate Park.
