BARBOUR: NOTES ON BERMUDIAN FISHES, 119 



C- crysos (Mitchill). Jack. 



Goode, 76', p. 75. 

 Paratractus pisquetus (C. & V.) Gill. Goode, 76^, p. 47. 



Distribution. — Massachusetts to Brazil. 



D. 8 + 25; A. 2 + 21. Sc. 45. 



I have examined four specimens of this species from Bermuda; three were 

 taken in the summer of 1903 at Fkitts Inlet, the other at Hamilton about 1870 

 (M. C. Z. No. 1733S). A number of these fishes were almost always to be 

 found lying in wait for fry carried out of Harrington Sound by the tide. They 

 took bait voraciously and afforded considerable sport for their size. We took 

 none over 9 inches in length. The name Jack is applied to several species. 



NOMEIDAB. 



Nomeus gronovii (Gmelin). 



Jordan & Evermann, "96-00, vol. 1 (1896), p. 949. 



Distribution. — Tropical Atlantic. 



D. 11 + 26; A. 3 + 26. 



This species appears to be rather common in Castle Harbor, where the only 

 specimens seen were taken. They usually swim about among the tentacles 

 of the Portuguese-man-o-war, but the only specimen I caught was swimming 

 lazily along near the surface of the water ; there were, however, plenty of 

 Phijsaliae near by. 



CORYPHAENIDAE. 

 Coryphaena equisetis (Linne). Dolphin. 



Distribution. — Open Atlantic, most common in the tropics. 

 D. 52 ; A. 25. 



A single specimen taken off Bermuda during the summer of 1904. It was 

 said to be very common at all times at some distance off shore. 



CHEILODIPTERIDAE. 

 Apogon binotata (PoEy). 



Distribution. — Florida, West Indies, and Brazil. 



D. 7 + 8; A. 2 + 8. 



A single specimen of this species was taken in Castle Harbor, it appears to 

 be rare. Several natives to whom I showed the specimen declared that thej had 

 never seen it before. I compared it with Poey's type from Cuba (M. C Z. 

 No. 8,750) and could find no difference between them. 



A. maculata (Poet). 

 Distribution. — Cuba. 

 D. 4+ 10; A. 2 + 7; 11. 27, Itr. 2 + 10.
