| Comments | It was first introduced into the Hudson basin by James Lewis in 1854 (UMMZ 29145 is a lot of two V. geogianus, labeled Erie Canal, Mohawk, NY 1854). This introduction seems not to have been mentioned in Lewis' publications, and apparently was unsuccessful, for Lewis reintroduced the species from Illinois into the Erie Canal at Mohawk in 1867 (Lewis, 1872). The colony was successful, as evidenced by numerous museum lots from Herkimer County in the succeeding decade (MCZ 166899, MCZ 237897). |
