Aphredoderus say anus (Gilliams). 
Pirate Perch. 
Two specimens of the Pirate Perch were collected in the 
Okefinokee swamp. 
Labidesthes sicculus Cope. 
Brook Silverside, Skip-jack, Glass-fish. 
Two specimens were taken at Mixon’s Ferry, Suwannee river, 
June 18, 1912. These were taken by “striking” with a bush 
knife. F. Harper secured another on Chase Prairie, January 12, 
1917. 
Blassoma evergladei Jordan. 
Pigmy Sunfish. 
This diminutive species was collected at thirteen different times 
at various places in Okefinokee swamp. 
This small fish is common on the islands, in cypress ponds, in 
hammocks, in crossways between islands and in more or less 
sphagnous bogs. At first we frequently mistook it for the young 
of a Centrarch. 
Centrarchus macropterus (Lacepede). 
“Shiner,” “Sand Perch,” “Sand Flirter,” Flier. 
Forty-eight specimens of this species of the Centrarchidae 
were collected in Okefinokee. 
It is evidently abundant locally. It is reported in lowland 
streams and still waters from Virginia to southern Illinois and 
South to Louisiana and Florida. 
Chaenohryttus gulosus (Cuvier and Valenciennes). 
“Warmouth,” “Perch,” Goggle-eye. 
We collected two specimens- The stomachs of these specimens 
were examined. The contents were however, badly mutilated. 
There seemed to be quite a quantity of mud mixed with crayfish 
claws in each case. 
This species probably is the most common food fish of the 
swamp. 
Bnneacanthus obesus Baird. 
Spotted Sunfish. 
It is rather remarkable that our collection includes twenty-six 
specimens of this small and very beautiful sunfish. This is re- 
markable because of the fact that in lists of fishes collected from 
Tieighboring streams but two specimens of members of the genus
