PETROMYZONIM. 1 



Petromyzon marinus Linnaeus. Lamprey. 



Atlantic (Nancock Creek), Burlington (Dutch Neck fishery, Florence, 

 Burlington), Cape May (Cedar Swamp Creek Forks), Camden (Magnolia), 

 Cumberland (Bay Side, Bridgeton), Essex, Gloucester (Oldman's Creek, 

 Pitman), Mercer and Monmouth Counties. 



Entosphenus aepypterus (Abbott). Brook Lamprey. 

 Bergen and Camden Counties. The late Henry Hales, of Ridge wood, 

 informed me in 1909 of the occurrence of small lampreys in the Hackensack 

 River where it joins the Saddle River. On two occasions he obtained 

 them in the Hackensack several years previously. They were caught in 

 May, in the upper water, near the dam used for water-supply.

 (Delaware River opposite mouth of Alloway Creek), Union (Perth Amboy 

 in Raritan Bay) Counties.

i In Man. Vert. East. U. S., Ed. 8, 1899, p. 8, Jordan gives *'N. York to South 

 America" for the range of Branchiostoma caribaeum Sundevall. Just what this state- 

 ment is worth I do not know, as no further details appear. Possibly Amphioxus lanct- 

 olatus as recorded by Andrews from lower Chesapeake Bay may represent this species. 



* The jaws I recorded from Townsend's Inlet as Lamna cornubica in Rep. N. J. 

 State Mus., 1905 (1906), p. 56, are really those of the present species. 



a Lamna cornubica T. H. Bean, Bull. U. S. F. Com., 7, 1887 (1889), p. 256 (N. Lat. 

 38° 7' W. Long. 74° 21'); Fowler, Rep. N. J. State Mus., 1905 (1906), p. 56 (Cape 

 May); Fowler, Science, 24, November 9, 1906, p. 596 (Sea Isle City). 



4 Possibly Lamna punctata Wilder, Science, I, November 6, 1880, p. 236, from Great 

 Neck, Long Island, is also this species.
