Inlet. Mr. Huber also reported a few Roccus lineatus, frequent 

 and fairly large Centropristis striatus, few Stenotomus chrysops, 

 large Cynoscion regalis common, and four Cynoscion nebulosus on 

 September 23. In July Mr. J. A. G. Rehn reported Centropristis 

 striatus, Cynoscion regalis, Paralichthys dentatus and Opsanus tau in 

 Barnegat Bay at Beach Haven. During late September Mr. D. 

 McCadden found Centropristis striatus, Orthopristis chrysopterus, 

 Cynoscion regalis, Leiostomus xanthurus, Pogonias cromis said Paral- 

 ichthys dentatus at Ocean City. 



Menticirrhus saxatilis (Schneider). Young common in the surf 

 at Corson's Inlet. Mr. Huber reports at this place an example of 

 Sciaenops ocellatus of 36 pounds and another of 52 pounds; a few 

 Leiostomus xanthurus, Micropogon undulatus common and large, 

 also Tautoga onitis, an example of Chiloniycterus schoepfi about 

 253 mm. long and many large Paralichthys dentatus. 



Dioclon hystrix (Linne). August 24, 1921, Mr. R. P. Schriver Jr., 

 reported an example captured at this place which he skinned out 

 and sent later. The skin now measures 320 mm. Color when fresh 

 blackish-slate passing through slate color to gray on upper parts of 

 side. Back with numerous close-set dark or blackish spots. Fins 

 all more or less dusky terminally, with obscure blackish spots, 

 most distinct on caudal and only few about pectoral axil. Bases

 and measured 1423 mm. was captured off McCray's Shoal, about 

 four miles off Cape May, August 12.
