Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Ecological Study of Southern Wisconsin Fishes: The Brook Silversides (Labidesthes Sicculus) And the Cisco (Leucichthys Artedi) In Their Relations to the Region Outside the oconomowoc-waukesha group the county contains a number of lakes of considerable size, scattered over the remaining three quarters of the area. The largest of these, Muskego, near the town of that name in the southeast corner of the county, nearly equals Pewaukee in size, but it has never been surveyed, and its exact area is unknown. Here, too, lie Little Muskego, Denoon, Muckwonago, Phantom, Eagle, and many smaller unsurveyed lakes, all of which, however, are included in this report. In the northeast corner of the county there are no lakes, but here is found the Menomonee river, which introduces the Lake Michigan drainage area into the scope of the investigation, along with which come several species of fish found in no other part of the county. The lakes and river systems will be listed subsequently. The region under discussion is of importance in connection with the work of Dr. Stephen A. Forbes and R. E. Richardson, together with their associates in the Illinois State Natural History Survey, because within it lies the source of the F ox river of Illinois, together with a great number of lakes and several river systems which flow into the Rock River and the Illinois, on which rivers the Illinois Natural History Survey is working so intensively. The region is, therefore, one of the great tributary areas to the river systems upon which they are focusing their energies.
