During the breeding-season males and females clear away a spot, perhaps under the water-lilies, and in the oval depression the eggs are deposited, the pair covering them with a layer of stones ; then another layer of eggs is deposited, and another of stones, until a mound of eight or ten inches in height is the result, and here the young are hatched.

They have weak, tooth- less jaws. The stone-toters (Ex- og/ossum) build nests by carrying stones, which they pile in heaps. The dace (Fig. 212), common minnows, and shiners, are all related.
