NOTKS OX XK\V JKRSEY FISHES. 365 



colored as usual in cedar-stained streams, and were only found in 

 sheltered quiet places along shore April 17th, 1908.

 nis Creek, in' Cape May Bounty. 



About Trenton Mr. J. B. Vandervecr finds the roach more of a 

 creek or pond fish, and, when found in the rivar, usually about chan- 

 nel grass. He found it reached a length of about seven inches. 



Abundant in the lower tidal of the Assiscunk Creek, near Burling- 

 ton, on September loth, 1908. An adult about five inches long had 

 very pale yellow lower fins. The young very abundant in all the still 

 muddy shallows, swimming rather slowly about in scattered schools. 

 Disturbing or making the water muddy did not appear to especially 

 inconvenience them. 



Small examples taken on Burlington Island in June of 1902, and 

 larger ones seen later.

Notropis hudsonius a mar us (Girard). 

 Spot Tailed Minnow. 



In the Delaware River at Xewbold's Island, Burlington county, 

 this was the least abundant cyprinoid on August 13th, 1908. It 

 associated with and frequented to some extent the same places as the 

 silver fin. The fry and small examples were most numerous, but 

 few adults having been secured. The caudal spot, though evident, 

 was not very vivid. 



I have taken this fish in the Delaware at Burlington Island.
