Rivers for three of the counts; between the 

 Neuse and Ogeechee Rivers, and the Ogeechee 

 and Edisto Rivers for two of the counts; and 

 between the Ogeechee and St. Johns Rivers for 

 one of the counts. 



These findings indicated that discrete popu- 

 lations of shad occurred in Atlantic coast 

 rivers . 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



William H. Massmann 2 provided collections 

 of juvenile shad from the York River taken in 

 1954 and 1956, and Richard R. Whitney 3 gave 

 collections from the Susquehanna River taken

 sity, Ithaca, N.Y., loaned collections from the
