between the present species and C. arctifrons, it is only necessary to 

 emphasize those above, though I also find it has much fewer gill- 

 rakers, or about 2+6, while C. arctifrons shows 4+9. It seems, 

 therefore, hardly likely my examples are the young of C. arctifrons. 

 or C. spilopterus, of which I have West Indian material, or C. unicornis. 

 These other species are readily distinguished; in the case of C. spilop- 

 terus, by its larger maxillary and smaller scales and in that of C. 

 unicornis by the broad interorbital. 



Found associated with C. micros were young Prionotus carolinus. 

 Brevoortia tyrannus, Trachinotus falcatus and Eucinostomus gula, all 

 of which were collected. Dr. Phillips noted on this occasion and the 

 preceding day the greatest variety of species during the year. They 

 were: Mustelus mustelus, Eulamia milberti, Anguitta chrisypa, Ancho- 

 via mitchilli, Fundulus majalis, F. heteroclitus macrolepidotus, Tylo- 

 surus marinus, Syngnathus fuscus, Menidia menidia notata, Mugil 

 cephalus, Pomatomus saltatrix, Centropristis striatus, Cynoscion regalis, 

 Leiostomus xanthurus, Menticirrhus americanus, M. saxatilis, Scicenops 

 ocellatus, Tautogolabrus adspersus, Tautoga onitis, Spheroides macu- 

 latus, Opsanus tau, Paralichthys dentatus and Pseudopleuronectes 

 americanus. An examination of the stomach contents of C. micros 

 showed remains of small Crustacea. 



I may also note here that Citharichthys spilopterus Gunther has been 

 recorded from New Jersey by Jordan and Goss, a fact I had neglected 

 to mention in my account of the fishes of that State.
