Fishes of Cayuga Lake Basin. 311 



Common on the flats and in the southern end of the Lake ; 

 streams on the uplands ; Cayuga and Montezuma. 



Family XII. IJIMBRIDJS. 

 3S. Ul^BRA lilini Kirtland. 



(Mud Minnow.) 



A., 265. B., 350. C, 51. 



Not found by me near Ithaca. Taken in small numbers near 

 Cayuga and Montezuma. 



Family XIV. FSOCIDJB. 

 39. ESOX RETICUIiATUS* LeSaeHr. 



(Eastern Pickerel. Green Pike.) 



A., 267. B., 353. C, 50. 



Lateral line 116 to 120. Branchiostegals 13 to 15. Dorsal rays 13 or 

 14 ; anal rays 12 or 13. The largest specimen seen by me from the lake 

 was 55 cm. in length. 



This species seems to be subject to individual variations. In 

 many respects the specimens seen from the Lake seem to be 

 intermediate between this species and the E, vermiculatus. 



Not very common. 



40. ESOX L.UCIUS=» liinnaeas. 



(Great Lake Pike ; Pike.) 

 A., 266. B.,353. C, 51. 



Lateral line 110. Branchiostegals 15. Dorsal rays 18 ; anal 

 rays 15. 



Not common, found only in the Lake and streams below falls. 



This species reaches a much larger size than the preceding. 

 It is probably confounded by fishermen with the MuSkallonge 

 (E. masquinongy—nohilior). 



Seth Green informs me that the Muskallonge has been taken 

 from Cayuga Lake. Several fishermen also maintain the same. 

 Yet in no case were they able to recognize more than two species, 

 E, reticulatus and E. Indus. Mr. Kipp does not regard the Mus- 

 kallonge as an inhabitant ot Cayuga Lake. I am inclined ta 

 believe that he is correct, and so omit it from this list.
