386 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [DeC, 



Eulamia milherti (Miiller and Henle). Mr. Drinker secured one 

 August 8, 1919, 8 feet, 6 inches in length, which weighed 300 lbs. 

 Another caught August 5, 1920, was 8 feet, 7 inches long, girth at 

 gills 45 inches, and weight 300 lbs. These were captured at Beach 

 Haven, as well as two smaller examples, without detailed data, but 

 which show the teeth slightly more serrate, or the serrse coarser. 

 Jaws from an example secured recently at St. Thomas, West Indies, 

 by Mr. N. P. Alexander, agree in every respect. 



Hypoprion hrevirostris Poey. Mr. Drinker secured a fine example 

 of this species at Beach Haven, on July 11, 1919. It measured 9 

 feet 6 inches in length and weighed 265 lbs. The jaws have been 

 received at the Academy. This is the first record, so far as I know, 

 of the occurrence of the short-nosed shark in New Jersey waters, 

 or north of the Carolinas. It is therefore another interesting addi- 

 tion to our local fauna. 



Sphyrna zygcena (Linne). Mr. L. Hoffman reported two examples, 

 each about 7 feet in length, at Beach Haven, on September 11, 

 1920. Other species also seen by him at this locality were: Mus- 

 telus canis; egg-case of large skate, containing embryo (probably 

 Raja ocellata), Pomatornus saltatrix, Roccus lineatus, Cynoscion 

 regalis, Scicenops ocellafus, Micropogon undulatus, Leiostomus xan- 

 thurus, Menticirrhus saxatilis, Pogonias cromis.

 given to him by a collector, Mr. Cunningham, who picked it up on
