NOTES ON FISHES FROM NEW JERSEY, PENNSYLVANIA, AND MARYLAND. 



BY HENRY W. FOWLER. 



Within the past two years some local fishes have been 

 obtained for the collections of the Academy. A number have 

 recently been studied, and as there are large series of specimens 

 in many cases, representing the fish-faunas of a number of streams 

 heretofore not explored, a resume is here given. Several species 

 new to the region may also be noted, besides others rare or little 

 known. Among those to whom I am indebted for assistance and 

 many favors are Messrs. C. S. Abbott, Jr., and R. M. Abbott, Miss 

 K. Bell, Messrs. H. H. Burton, Edwin Fowler, W. J. Fox, H. W. 

 Hand, Philip Laurent, G. H. Lings, H. L. Mather, E. S. and W. I. 

 Mattern, W. E. Meehan, Dr. F. Pennell, Mr, H. E. Thompson and 

 Dr. R. O. Van Deusen. 



New Jersey. 



During the past season collections were made in late April in the 

 streams and bay-shore region of Cumberland County (Bivalve, 

 Cedarville, Sheppard's Mill and Fortescue): July 31, the Assanpink 

 Creek in Mercer County (Quaker Bridge); August 8, streams in 

 Warren County (Musconetcong River and Hihickihocki Creek near 

 Stewartsville, and the Pohatcong Creek near Washington and Port 

 Colden); August 3, Hunterdon County (Wickecheoke Creek at 

 Stockton and the Lockatong Creek below Raven Rock), and on 

 September 27, near Frenchtown (Harihokake, Nishisakawick and 

 Copper Creeks). I have also examined the records of material 

 collected and such specimens as were brought to the Philadelphia 

 Aquarium during the past summer from Atlantic City and Somers 

 Point. 



Carcharias taurus Rafinesque. 



One 9 feet long at Atlantic City and several more about the same 

 length from off shore brought to Somers Point in September. 



Alopias vulpinus (Bonnaterre). 



Mr. J. W. Tatum submitted a photograph of an adult about 

 15 feet long taken at Stone Harbor, in June, 1902.
