BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION. 
The margin of the stream is fringed with a thick growth of willows. Species from this 
stream are marked “C.” 
2. Smith Fork, Lancaster: Smith Pork has its source in the southern part of 
Wilson County, Tenn. ; it takes a northwesterly course and joins Caney Fork 
River near Lancaster. August 24 the work in this stream was done for a distance 
of 1 mile above the railroad bridge. The channel is cut into solid limestone, and in 
many places is covered with fragments of rocks which have fallen from the steep side 
hills. Smith Fork is a beautiful stream and abundantly stocked with native fish. 
Specimens collected from this stream are marked “ S.” 
At this point I was materially assisted by Messrs. W. H. Nixon, A. Jackson, T. J. 
Lancaster, and C. C. Smith.
