EIGHTH REPORT. 
Etheostoma caeruleum (Storer). Blue Darter.—This is a very common darter 
in Beebe creek and in the outlet of King Lake and in some other streams of the 
region. About a hundred were caught. They were from three to nine and one- 
fourth cm. in length. 
The above list gives the fishes, which I have actually taken in the 
county and identified, but there are several other species which I know 
to be in the region. The eel, Anguilla chrysypa, is often speared in 
Bawbeese lake. The whitefish, probably Coregonus elupeiformis, is said 
to be in Bawbeese lake. I have seen brook trout, Salvelmus fontinalis, 
taken from the stream, which runs through Hillsdale. There is a large 
game fish that is much sought for in the lakes about Hillsdale, known 
as the pickeral. This is probably Lucius lucius.
