NOTES ON THE FISHES OF LAKE ONTARIO. 213 
37. Anguilla chrysypa (Rafinesque). Common Eel. 
Not seen by us, but common as far as Niagara Falls. 
88. Pomolobus pseudoharengus (Wilson). Alewife. 
Cape Vincent; Grenadier Island; Salmon River at Selkirk; lake and Long Pond 
at Charlotte. 
During June and July, 1894, this fish was found dead in considerable numbers at 
all places visited in the eastern part of the lake. 
[Alosa sapidissima (Wilson). Common Shad. Shad were planted in Lake Ontario 
in 1870, 1871, 1872, 1873, 1877, and 1878. A few only of these survived, and 
since 1885 few, if any, have been seen. ] 
39. Coregonus clupeiformis (Mitchill). Common White-fish. 
As the time of our visit to Lake Ontario was not the fishing season for this species, 
but few specimens were seen. It was seen at Cape Vincent, but we are not sure 
where the specimens came from. 
40. Argyrosomus artedi (Le Sueur). Lake Herring or Cisco. 
Seen only at Cape Vincent and Grenadier Island. The specimens seen were caught 
in gill nets on Charity Shoal in 140 to 160 feet. 
41. Argyrosomus prognathus (H. M. Smith). Long-jaw White-fish. 
Numerous specimens seen at Grenadier Island which had been taken June 28 in 
gill nets on Charity Shoal, 6 miles off Grenadier Islandand near Duck [sland, in 140 
to 160 feet. Others were obtained by Dr. Gurley, August 26, at Wilson. They had 
been caught in gill nets about 3 miles off, in 105 fathoms. 
42. Salmo salar Linnzeus. <Allantic Salmon. 
Though at one time a common fish in some of the tributaries of this lake, but few 
have been seen in recent years. None was seen by us. 
43. Cristivomer namaycush (Walbaum).* Lake Trout. 
None seen by us, but ocasionally taken. 
44. Umbra limi (Kirtland). Mud Minnow. 
Apparently not common, specimens having been obtained only in Mill Creek 
near Sacketts Harbor and Guffon Creek near Chaumont. 
45. Lucius vermiculatus (Le Sueur). Grass Pike. 
Rather common in all suitable waters. Black Creek at Scriba Corner; Lakeview 
west of Oswego; Wart Creek near Buena Vista; Great Sodus Bay; outlet of Long Pond 
near Charlotte; and Marsh Creek near Point Breeze. 
46. Lucius reticulatus (Le Sueur). Common Pickerel. 
Found only in Black River at Huntingtonville, where two specimens were obtained. 
47. Lucius lucius (Linneus). Common Pike. 
Mud Creek near Cape Vincent; Chaumont River; and Long Pond near Charlotte. 
Doubtless common in all suitable places. 
48. Fundulus diaphanus (Le Sueur). Grayback. 
Generally abundant in the lake. Mud Creek near Cape Vincent; Grenadier Island; 
Horse Island at Sacketts Harbor; Mill Creek near Sacketts Harbor; Stony Island; 
* Thymallus ontariensis Cuvier & Valenciennes, Hist. Nat. Poiss., xxXI, 452, 1848, was based upon a 
specimen of grayling said to have been brought by Milbert from Lake Ontario, but it certainly did 
not come from Lake Ontario. It was probably the ordinary European grayling, Thymallus thymallus.
