DESCRIPTION OF A NEW BLENNY FROM NEW JERSEY, WITH NOTES ON 

 OTHER FISHES FROM THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 



BY HENRY W. FOWLER. 



During 1912 and the past year, a number of local collections have 

 been acquired by the Academy. Many afford new or interesting 

 localities, which are grouped according to the several States. Though 

 multitudes of the commoner species were examined at the fisheries, 

 usually small collections and small specimens were obtained where 

 possible. 



New Jersey. 



Dasyatis say (Le Sueur). 



Examined a large one on the beach at Corson's Inlet, June 20, 1913. 

 At this locality on June 19 saw Fundulus heteroclitus macrolejyidotus, 

 Poronotus triacanthus, Cynoscion regalis, Chiloniyderus schnepfi, and 

 Lophius piscatorius. On June 20 and 21, saw Anguilla chrisypa, 

 Fundulus heteroclitus macrolepidotus, Fistularia tabacaria, Hippo- 

 campus hudsonius, Cynoscion regalis, Bairdiella chrysura, Scicenops 

 oceUatus, Menticirrhus saxatilis, Pogonias cromis, Monacanthus hispi- 

 dus, and Paralichthys dentatus. The Fistularia was preserved, having 

 been taken in the summer of 1912, and was about 15 inches long. 



Several selachians have been reported to me on apparently trust- 

 worthy authoiity. They are: 



Alopias vulpes. 



One 16 feet long, taken in the pounds at Sea Isle City in IMay, 

 1900. T. Kupfer. 



Scoliodon terrae-novae. 



One about 3 feet long, examined by Mr. W. J. Fox, was para- 

 sitized with numerous female copepods (Pandarus sinuatus), which 

 were preserved. This shark was secured May 31, 1913, and the 

 fishermen reported several more shortly afterward. 

 Squatina squatina. 



One reported at Ocean City on December 31, 1912, and another in 

 the same month at Stone Harbor, credited with being four feet long.
