The purpose of this handbook is to provide means for identifying fishes found in Kansas, information about their distribution within the State, and general accounts of their habits. It is hoped that publication of the handbook will summon new records of fishes from sources that I have overlooked, that the references cited will lead students into further study of the literature on fishes and into investigations that answer some of the many remaining questions about the natural history of fishes in Kansas, and that the informa tion summarized will facilitate assessment of future changes in the composition and distribution of our fish-fauna.
