him from Delaware Bay was captured last spring between Dead Man 

 Shoal and Fourteen Foot Bank. 



Urophycis regius (Walbaum). 



Dr. Phillips caught 3 on May 18, 1908, at Rehoboth, where they 

 were locally called "tomcod." These specimens were not preserved. 

 Merluccius bilinearis (Mitchill). "Whiting." 



Found off the coast in cold weather. I have examined a number 

 of market examples. Said to be an abundant fish at times and 

 valued as food. 



Lophius pisoatorius Linnaeus. "Goose Fish." 



Abundant in Delaware Bay, according to the fishermen who know 

 it at Lewes and Rehoboth. I have examined a Delaware Bay example 

 now in the Academy. 



Besides the foregoing, many other marine species are taken, and 

 some very abundantly. Quite a number have been reported to me by 

 various anglers, fishermen or amateur naturalists, and as all have either 

 been found in New Jersey or the coast of Worcester County, Mary- 

 land, it is almost inevitable that they will be added to the fauna of 

 the State. Such species are: Carcharias littoralis, Galeocerdo tigrinus, 

 Mustelus mustelus, Alopias wipes, Eulamia obscura, Squalus acanthias, 

 Pristis pectinatus, Raja erinacea, R. kevis, Dasyatis centroura, D. say, 

 Myliobatis freminvillii , Rhinoptera bonasus, Opisthonema oglinum.
