Huntley Brook is 10 or 12 miles long; it rises in Waite plantation and flows 
sontli into Leweys Lake. At the month it is about 50 feet wide and not very deep. Tlie 
bottom is covered with a deep sediment of decayed wood. The shores are boggy, with 
small tloating islands. This spot, we were told, is a favorite fishing-place in the 
the proper season for white perch and chubs. Trout are said to be plentiful and of 
large size well up the brook, being first caught about -1 miles from the mouth. At the 
month of the stream, on October 17, young golden shiners {Notemufonm chri/soleucus) 
were seined in large numbers; chubs {Semotihts hnllaris) of small size and sunfish 
{Lepomis gibhosm) were abundant. A few yellow perch {Perea flavesceas) were also 
taken.

ST. CROIX RIVER. 
WEST BRANCH OF ST. CROIX RIVER. 
There are a sawmill and a tannery at Princeton, the refuse from the former being 
allowed to enter the stream. The sawdust chokes the river for 2 or 3 ndles below, 
forming e.xtensive banks, which in some places reach above the surface of the water. 
At the mouth of Georges Brook, about a mile below Princeton, the sawdust and other 
refuse form beds of considerable thickness. The region along the brook is boggy. 
Among the lily pads, in 2 or 3 feet of water, several young chubs {SenwtiJiis httUaris), 
3 shiners {Notemigonas cJirysoleueiis), and a pickerel (Lucinn retie til atus) 1 foot long 
were taken. The temperature of the water at this iilace was 4S-7° F. on October 21. 
At the foot of Black Cat Rips, half a mile below Georges Brook, on gravelly bottom 
with some Avater grass, we took 5 perch {Perea Jkivescem) and 1 pi(i]^erGl { Lueim retica- 
Jatus). The temperatirre of the water was 48° F. One-half mile below Black Cap 
Rips the bottom was soft with a great deal of sawdust and river grass ; several shiners 
{Notemigonm ehrysoteueus) and red-finned minnows {N~otropis megalops) Avere obtained. 
About a mile before reaching the mouth of Tomah Stream we obtained a young pick- 
erel. The bottom here Avas composed of saAvdust and refuse on wddeh water weeds 
were groAving. Tlie temperature of the Avater was 48° F. 
Tomah Stream floAvs southward into Schoodic River, near Squirrel Point, a few 
miles beloAV l^rinceton. Tlie stream is deep, Avith weedy margins, dark reddish water, 
and long liottom grass, up as far as the “ Roll Dam,” about 2 miles above its mouth. 
There is no fishway through this dam and probably no occasion for one. Trout are 
said to be caught at the dam, thence along the stream to its source. We seined in 
several places from the dam to the mouth of the stream, obtaining a Icav young 
hornpouts (A)»ei»r»s ae5(do.9M.9), pickerel {Lucius reticulatus) common, and a few iierch 
{Perea Jlavescens).
