very favorsblo place for breeding. The com
parative freedom fSom Redfns, Dace, and
Clubs, allows their eggs better chance to
mature. Thus this dam nets, in respect to
the Catfish, as q reservoir to the entire

A fact, worthy Of note, Is that the Catfish
il seldom II ever s5en III the Back Brook,
abovs the point III which II received tha Fac

fewer as We get neaSef th6 lowbr Isl illinus

The Clubs semotilis Rhothr,is and Samot.

The Rose Club attains but part Of it's size
while in our rivulet. By the time 1t becomes
a clever fish, It refuses to stay with us, and
descends into the Raritan Here it is said to
attain TO the lefgth of foot, and weighs d
pound and upwards. 1t is readily distinguish
ed from the speckled Club, by the coarseness
OF its scales, The horns upon its head, and its
deeper Color and larger size.

found more abundantly In the Neshanic and
its branches than the one before named -
Neither of them is much priced for food. =

They are said to be the choicest BAIT In fish1

Redfn-Hypsilepis Comitus. This little
fish is found III great abundance IN dur fivu-
let, indeed, it ontnumbers all the rest of the
finny tribe put together. AS may be seen by
inspecting the table of fishes caught, on The
18th Or September, out of $3.50, 3,44s we're
RedGns. Were these little fellows of much
value, question whether they would be
SO numerous.
/ The Redfin, when it reaches its maximum
growth, in our rivuet, is about five inches in
length. Its tail is forked, aud widely spread.
les eyes isre large and more prominent Than
those of the Club. Upon the heads Of the
males, are tubercles, commonly called horns.
All its fins are large, aud usually 1t keeps
them we'll unfurled. In Spring, they are red.
