Wil- low trees, Salix sp., grew close to the water's edge along most of the shore- line. STUDY PROCEDURES AT LAKE GLENDALE In both 1940 and 1946, the intention was to limit the fish stock in Lake Glen- dale to two species, the largemouth bass and the bluegill. However, in spite of attempts to eliminate fish from the feeder stream by rotenone applications before the 1940 stocking, the stock be- came contaminated by other species, principally the green siinfish, Lepomis cijditc'lhis Kafinesque, and the war- mouth, Chaenohnjttus gidosus (Cu- vier); both the green sunfish and the warmouth sur\'i\'ed the drawdown and the rotenone treatment that preceded the 1946 stocking. The 1940 Stocking The original release of fish in Lake Glendale was made on April 8, 1940, with bass and bluegills taken from Lake C^hautauqtia, near Havana (cen- tral Illinois). Included in the stock used were the following fish, all adults: 70 largemouth bass, 10-14 inches total length ( fish per acre) 215 bluegills, 4-7 inches total length ( fish per acre) Some of the bluegills were weak when released in the lake, probably as a consequence of having been lu'ld for se\'eral days in a live box before being transported in a tatik to Lake Glendale. The extent of mortality among these.
