r.iniiiits ami Discusc. Living in small, clear streams easily accessible to 

 predatory aquatic mammals and birds, this fish is probably devoured by many 

 creatures, but little is definitely known on this subject. Loons {Cufi'M iiiinicr), 

 according to Warren ('<)/. \t. 298) and l-'owler ('13. p. 8), feed on the Fallfish. 

 Warren (j). 310) also took Fallfish from the stomach of the Crcen Heron 

 ( liiitoriilis 7'irfscfits 7'ircsccn.'!). TIk' trematode Difhistomum f'linahim .*^tatTord 

 (.Stiles and Hassall. 08. p. 157) is recorded from the Fallfish. and Ward (12. 

 p. 2j(i) extracted trematcxles, cestodcs, nematodes an<l .Icanllwci-phala fnm) the 

 san>e sjn-cics. .\ cestode. L'ujula utoiioffraiiiiiui C"re])lin, is reconled from the Fall- 

 fish by I.cidy (cf. '04. p. jy) under the name of l.nuistiis f>ulilii-llus. .\iuong our 

 own specimens only a few lots were observed to be diseased. Xti. 4<)lb contains 

 four specimens slightly infested with >kin parasites, apparently nematiHles; and 

 Xo. 5«j3b includes two sfiecimens which have a translucent I>elt alwuit a half inch 

 wi«lc Iwck of the dorsal fin. evidently a mark of disease. 



liioiioiiiiis and Atuiittui. In < )neida l.ake this s]Hries is tiwi rare to Ik- of 

 econonjic imjiorlance. although in the l.irger tributary creeks tile young individuals 

 are valued highly for liait. IIen^hall ("17. ji. 2f 18 ) refers to the Common Chub. 

 Si'wnlUu.t hulliiris, and the Horned Chub. Xocotiiis. as Iwit for black l«ss, saying: 

 "The Chubs are go<Kl liail on bright <lays with clear and still water: they have 

 rather tough months and endure the hook well, and are rather more lively than 

 shiners, and on these accounts are preferred by many anglers."
