The fishes, although probably having little direct influence 

 in the lives of any of the birds save the Kingfisher, Grebe, 

 and Herons, may well be listed. Many species enter the marsh 

 to spawn, and at certain seasons the pools fairly teem with 

 their young. If Fall Creek and the Inlet were to be considered 

 as part of the marsh, this list would include practically the 

 entire fish fauna of the Cayuga basin.* It will be restricted, 

 therefore, to those forms which have been found spawning 

 in the marsh, or which occur in sufficient numbers to indicate 

 that they probably spawn here. 



Amiatus calva (Linn.). Bowfin. It is reported that this 

 fish has been seen to capture and swallow the young of marsh 

 birds. It spawns during May. The young, accompanied by 

 the male, have been taken early in June. 



Ameiurus nehulosus (Le Sueur). Common Bullhead. It 

 spawns abundantly in shallow water along the shores of the 

 Cove and along the head of the lake, beginning about the first 

 of June. It enters the marsh early in April, becoming very 

 abundant during the first part of May. 



Schilheodes gyrinus (Mitchill). Tadpole Cat. Not at all 

 uncommon; it probably spawns along the shores, where nu- 

 merous young are taken in September. 



Catostomus commersonii (Lacepede) . Common Sucker. One 

 of the most common fishes in the creeks; it spawns more or 

 less in the marsh, where large schools of young appear about 

 the middle of May. 



Pimephales notatus (Rafinesque). Blunt-nosed Minnow. 

 Quite abundant in the Cove at times, especially about the
