Abramis chrysoleucas (Mitchill). Golden. Shiner.—Seven were taken in the 
small pasture stream west of Reading avenue. These were small, six to eleven 
cm. long. The stream where these were caught was from one to two feet wide 
and almost concealed by high grass. I have occasionally taken large examples 
of the species, ten inches or so in length, by hook and line, from Stock’s mill pond. 
Notropis heterodon (Cope).—Five were caught near King Lake in its outlet. 
A few were taken from the channel connecting two of the Bawbeese lakes. 
Notropis cornutus (Mitchill). Shiner.—This species was found abundant at 
Beebe creek. I took thirty-five specimens, which measured from four to fifteen 
and one-half cm. in length. 
Rhinichthys atronasus. Black-nosed Dace.—This minnow was found in the 
small brook in a pasture west of Reading avenue. Thirty were here taken. I 
am unable to determine whether these are R. atronasus (Mitchill) or R. atronasus 
lunatus (Cope). 
Hybopsis kentuclciensis (Rafinesque). Horny Head.—Small individuals were 
found common at Beebe creek. Forty-five were taken at this place. They were 
from three to eight cm. in length. 
Umbra limi (Kirtland). Mud Minnow.—Found abundant in the outlet of King 
Lake and in the pasture brook west of Reading avenue. 
Lucius vermiculatus (LeSueur). Little Pickeral.—Found common in the out¬ 
let of King Lake and in Beebe creek. Six were taken, eight to twenty-one cm. 
long. I have seen this fish in a number of other streams and it is common in the 
region. 
Fundulus dispar (Agassiz).—Two were taken August 28, 1902, in a few inches 
of water near the shore of Bawbeese Lake. 
Labidesthes sicculus (Cope). Brook Silversides.—Found very common at Baw¬ 
beese Lake, swimming in large schools near the surface of shallow water. Two 
were taken at Beebe creek. 
Pomoxis sparoides (LacgpSde). Calico Bass.—Very common in the lakes about 
Hillsdale, where it is usually known as the speckled bass. It is especially abun¬ 
dant in King Lake. Ten small specimens, five to seven and one-half cm. long 
were taken at Beebe creek. 
Ambloplytes rupestris (Rafinesque). Common Rock Bass.—Four small speci¬ 
mens, four and one-half cm. long, taken at Beebe creek. The fish is common at 
Bawbeese Lake. Its favorite haunts in this lake seems to be shallow water where 
there is a growth of rushes. 
Chaenobryttus gulosus (Cuvier and Valenciennes). The Goggle Eye.—I caught 
ten, measuring from nine to fourteen cm. long by hook and line from King 
Lake, Bawbeese Lake, and Stock’s mill pond. The fish is common in shallow 
weedy parts of the lakes about Hillsdale. 
Apomotis cyanellus (Rafinesque). Blue-spotted Sunfish.—Seven were taken, 
measuring three and one-half to fourteen cm., from Bawbeese Lake, King Lake and 
Beebe creek. 
Lepomis pallidus (Mitchill). Blue-gill.—A large number of these were taken 
from Bawbeese Lake and King Lake by hook and line, but only twenty-one of the 
smaller ones were preserved. These measured twenty-three to eighteen and 
one-half cm. The blue-gill is a very common fish about Hillsdale, and is a popu¬ 
lar game fish, and takes a hook baited with worm readily. 
Eupomotis gibbosus (Linnaeus). Common Sunfish.—Seven were taken from 
Bawbeese Lake and King Lake. These were from seven to thirteen cm. long. The 
species is common in the vicinity of Hillsdale. 
Micropterus salmoides (LacgpSde). Large-mouth Black Bass.—Eighteen speci¬ 
mens were preserved, which measured from five to twenty-two cm. This is an 
important game fish in the lakes about Hillsdale, and it grows to a good size in 
the region. The largest one that I have seen taken near Hillsdale weighed about 
five pounds. 
Perea flavescens (Mitchill). Yellow Perch.—Many were caught from Bawbeese 
Lake, but only seven were preserved. It is abundant in Bawbeese Lake and in 
Stock’s mill pond. 
Hadropterus aspro (Cope and Jordan). Black-sided Darter.—Two specimens, 
five to seven and one-half cm. long, were taken from Beebe creek. 
Boleosoma nigrum (Rafinesque). Johnny Darter.—Six were taken at Beebe 
creek, which were from four and one-half to eight and one-half cm. long. I 
also took four from the small stream near Allen.
