The Rough-tailed three-spined Stickleback, _Gasterosteus trachurus_; ubiquitous. The males in the breeding season are resplendent in scarlet and green, and fight for supremacy. It is remarkable with what ease individuals accommodate themselves to sea water. The Smooth-tailed Stickleback, _G. leiurus_; the Short-spined Stickleback, _G. brachycentus_; the Four-spined Stickleback, _G. spinulosus_ and the Ten-spined Stickleback, _G. pungitius_; although not so common as _G. trachurus_, are all found in ditches communicating with the river Anker, at Tamworth. ABDOMINAL MALACOPTERYGII. Carp, _Cyprinus carpio_. The writer has had one of large size from Plants Brook Reservoir, 7½ lbs., and has seen a larger one in the pool. The largest recorded was from Sandwell Pool, 12 lbs. Crucian Carp, _C. carassius_, is not uncommon; the writer has seen numbers of them taken from small cattle pits on a farm in Warwickshire. It is a pretty and hardy species in an aquarium. Gold Carp, _C. auratus_, the well known “gold-fish,” used to breed in a pool at West Bromwich, into which warm water from an engine flowed, but it is not found there now. Barbel, _Barbus vulgaris_, is found in abundance in the River Trent, but in general size not to be compared with those taken in the Thames. River Trent, 7½ lbs. and 8 lbs. Gudgeon, _Gobio fluviatilis_, in streams fairly common, also in canals, but rare in pools. Earlswood Reservoir. Tench, _Tinca vulgaris_, not uncommon; of large size at Handsworth, Sutton Coldfield, and near Barnt Green, in pools; plentiful at the latter place, rivers Tame, Anker, &c.; 3 lbs. Edgbaston Pool. It is one of the easiest fishes to keep in confinement. A golden variety of this species is bred in the private pools of gentlemen in this country, it is said to have been introduced from Germany. Fine specimens were to be seen at the recent Fisheries Exhibition in London. Bream, _Abramis brama_, in the larger rivers. When this species assembles, after an overnight’s baiting, it may often be taken in great numbers. 5 lbs. River Trent. The writer has known a few hours’ fishing in a Warwickshire stream to yield sufficient fine fishes of this species to fill a hamper as much as a couple of men could carry. Roach, _Leuciscus rutilus_, occurs very commonly and of large size; old Soho Pool, 3 lbs. weight, a truly noble fish; Sharpley Reservoir, 2 lbs. Dace, _Leuciscus vulgaris_, River Trent, 14 ozs. Chub, _Leuciscus cephalus_, River Tame, 5½ lbs. 5 lbs. and many approaching that weight. Rudd or Red-eye, _Leuciscus erythropthalmus_. In the River Tame. Bleak, _Leuciscus alburnus_. In streams and in Earlswood Reservoir. A friend remarks, “I have taken this species in Earlswood Reservoir, and Gudgeon also, the only instance I have met with where these two river fish have occurred in a pool.” They were probably bred from escaped bait. Minnow, _Leuciscus phoxinus_, common in many streams.
