Fishes of the Hudson River by Tom Lake, Wappingers Falls, New York This is an outline version of this list. An annotated version appeared in Noyitates, published by the Amer. Museum of Natural History as: c. Lavett Smith and Thomas R. Lake, Documentation of the Hudson River Fish Fauna, American Museum Novitates, No. 2981, August 9, 1990, 17 pp. The advantage of that paper over the following list is that it contains relatively specific indications of sites where listed species have been found. The annotated list would be compulsory for New York members or anyone contemplating a collecting trip. We're keeping it with our copy of Srnith~s indispensible Inland Fishes of New York State (N.Y. Dept. of Environmental Conservation, c. $30). You can obtain a copy of the annotated list ("Documentation ... ") from AMNH Library, Dept. D, Central Park W. at 79th st., New York, NY 10024, for $2. List of back issues of Novitates, Bulletin, and other publications are available from that address. Torn Lake, Director of the Hudson River Fishermen's Association, is a member of NANFA.

*It has recently been discovered or contended that Lepomis is not masculine, but feminine. For years the opposite has been assumed, as a result of which most species names have ended in the masculine "-us." The feminine ending is "-a," so taxonomic progressives like the authors appear ready to switch, and they have ended the asterisked species names "-a." --Ed. -27-

and placed it back in its original position. Two weeks later, the pair spawned once again, but laid fewer eggs (30). This time not all the eggs fungused, and most survived until hatching. At about 74°F (l9°C), the eggs hatched in 10 days, but the Johnnies' tankmates quickly devoured the hatchlings. After one more week, the Johnnies again spawned, with an even smaller batch of eggs, about 20. Most of these hatched also. The male continued to maintain his breeding dress, but no eggs were spawned for 1~ months, when spawning resumed exactly as above.
During the second rest period, the darters were moved into a 55-gallon aquarium which they shared with the Pupfish, Northern Redbelly Dace, Threespine Sticklebacks, and some Riffle Sculpins. Perhaps because the more aggressive sculpins forced the Johnnies from available caves, the Johnny Darters spawned on the gravel substrate, as their slightly indented eggs were discovered there. I observed this happening twice. Shortly thereafter, both darters perished, far short of their expected longevity of three-years-plus. In retrospect, these darters spawned relatively easily, probably due to mainly live food. The pair was never subjected to an overwintering period, and water flow and aeration were minimal. Water temperature varied little, from 68° to 75°F. Water changes were made once a week, but were occasionally missed, with no visible harmful effects.
