408 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [Sept., 



centroura from off Green Creek in Delaware Bay. Mr. Fox is informed 

 that two large Tarpon atlanticus were reported from the pounds at Sea 

 Isle City about 1901 or 1902. Mr. I. N. DeHaven reported Tarpon atlan- 

 ticus taken at Chadwick in 1907, and Trichuirus lepturus later. Perhaps 

 the most interesting fish captured in New Jersey waters this season was 

 a fine large example of Rhinoptera bonasus taken on September 11th in 

 the bay at Ocean City, and secured for the Academy by Mr. David 

 McCadden. No definite New Jersey record has ever been given since 

 LeSueur described it from Egg Harbor in 1817 in the Journal of the 

 Academy. Dr. Phillips has kindly furnished me with a drawing and 

 detailed description of a young Garrupa nigrita taken at Corson's Inlet 

 on September 2d, which is the first record for this fish in New Jersey 

 waters.
