After the animal seasons of high water in the Mississippi basin, 
great numbers of young fish are left in sloughs and pools when the 
waters have receded, and would eventually die by the drying up of 
these shallow places in summer or freezing in winter. Large collec- 
tions are made from such sources, for return to the original streams 
and, of the most abundant species, also to supplement the hatchery 
stock for distribution. The fishes so collected in 1909 were as 
follows : 
The Catfishes (Silurdue): 
Spotted cat, blue cat, channel cat ( Ictalurus punctatus). Only limited numbers 
obtainable. 
Horned pout, bullhead, yellow cat ( Ameiurus nebulosus). 
The Suckers and Buffalofishes (Catostomuue): 
Small-mouth buffalofish (Ictiobus bubalus). 
The Minnows and Carps (Cyprinid^e): 
Carp ( Cyprinus carpio). Distributed in rare instances, for waters unsuited to 
other species.
