Gambusia gracilis Heck-el. 



Found in fresh pools, near the sea, at Virginia Beach. Abundant 

 in the fresh-water ditches in the lower basin of Locustville Branch. 



Menidia menidia notata (Mitchill.) 



Watchapreague Inlet. 



Gasterosteus aculeatus Linnaeus. 



Very abundant in purely fresh-water lagoons on Parmores Island, 

 and found associated only with Cyprinodon. All were quite small, 

 and many of the males with bright scarlet axillary ventral membranes, 

 otherwise the coloration mostly olive-green. This is the most 

 southern locality at which I have obtained this species, and it is 

 also noteworthy that all the individuals were so dwarfed. 



Syngnathus fuscus Storer. 



Watchapreague Inlet. 



*Scomber scombrus Linnaeus. 



I have also examined many examples of the following in the 

 Norfolk markets: Sarda sarda, Scomberomorus maculatus, Seriola 

 lalandi, Pomatomus saltatrix, Seserinus paru, Poronotus triacanthus, 

 Lobotes surinamensis, Archosargus probatocephalus, Cynoscion regalis, 

 C. nebulosus, Scicenops ocellatus, Leiostomus xanthurus, Micropogon 

 undulatus, Pogonias cromis, and Paralichthys dentatus. Almost all 

 these were said to have been captured in the pounds in Hampton 

 Roads. At Virginia Beach I found: Sarda sarda, Trichiurus 

 lepturus, Seriola lalandi, Seserinus paru, Poronotus triacanthus, 

 Cynoscion regalis, C. nebulosus, Bairdiella chrysura, Leiostomus 

 xanthurus, Micropogon undulatus, Alutera schoepfii, Chilomycterus 

 schoepfi, and Lophius piscatorius.
