BULLETIN" OF THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION. 
MAIN ST. CBOIX RIVER. 
On October 23 we seined in St. Croix River, about 2 miles above Baring. The 
bottom was composed of soft clay, silt, and “eelgrass.” In several hauls in different 
localities we took JSfotyopis megalops (1 specimen), the young of Semoiilus hxillaris 
(numerous specimens), a few yoxmg Lucius reUeulatus, 7 to 10 inches long, and a great 
many water bugs, insect larvie, Flanorhis, etc. Here tlie river was full of logs. 
About half a mile below Baring, on tlie New Brunswick side, the river runs through 
meadows in which small, shallow, muddy tributary streams, or creeks are common. 
The river and creeks are filled with a profuse growth of the long river grass. From 
one of these small streams we obtained the young of Semotilus huUaris (common) and 
Ixotemigonus chrysoleucus (common), Lcpomis gihhosus (11 to 3 inches long, common), 
Lucius reUeulatus (12 to 13 inches), and a great abundance of insects and larvre. 
jMaguerrowock Stream, near Calais, runs for a long distance through bogs and 
meadows. It rises in the hills of Calais and flows north to St. Croix River. It its 
upper course trout are common. About a quarter of a mile from St. Croix River, 
among grass and lily pads, we took Amemrxis nebuJosus (a few about 3 inches long); 
Xotemigonus chrysoleucus (few, 3 inches long); Lucius reUeulatus (few, young); Lepomis 
gihhosus (young, common, about 3 inches long).
