RECORDS OF PENNSYLVANIA FISHES 



HENRY W. FOWLER 



Two complete accounts of the fishes of Pennsylvania have 

 appeared, one by Cope in 1881, and the other by Dr. Bean in 1892. 

 The first of these is of a rather general nature, though based on the 

 author's studies while collecting about the State, and the other is 

 to a large extent little more than an elaborated compilation of the 

 first. In view of the desideratum of (lefim't(> rccor.l^ for the dis- 

 tribution of the different species in the various stn^ains lakes, etc., 

 I have collected at a number of localities, and tlius am able to 

 offer nearly complete notes for some districts. This, and an 

 examination of the fine collection of Pennsylvania fishes in the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia will complete my 

 records. It may be understood that no species is here included 

 unless known to me from the examination of a Pcniisx Ivaiiia 

 specimen. Further exploration will undoubtedly cxkmkI tlic dis- 

 tribution of many species, besides resulting in the a( (iui^ition of 

 some others not now known from within our limits. 



The collections in the Academy embrace chiffly those made by 

 E. D. Cope and J. H. Slack, together with others made by T. 1).

 permission to collect fishes in Pennsylvania with nets.
