APPENDIX. 



A PARTIAL LIST OF FISHES OBTAINED IN THE GULF 

 STREAM SOUTH OF RHODE ISLAND. 



1. Psenes edwardsii (Eigenmann). 



A single specimen, 90 mm. in length, was taken for the first time about July 

 28, 1900, by the schooner Grampus from under a Medusa 30 miles south of 

 Newport. (Bull. U. S. Fish Commission, 21, 1901, 35.) 



2. Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps (Goode & Bean). Tilefish. 



Geog. Dist.: Deep water of western Atlantic. Taken in water not less 

 than 55 fathoms in depth directly to the south of Rhode Island, in the 

 area between 69° and 73° W. longitude and 40° 20' to 39° 47' N. latitude. 

 (Bull. U. S. Fish Commission, 1898, 321.) 



Food: Preeminently a crab eater; there have also been found, in the stomach 

 of many specimens, squids, molluscs, holothurians, spiny dogfish, eels, and 

 fish bones. 



The following fishes were dredged off the southern coast of New England, by 

 the U. S. Fish Commission steamer Fish Hawk, September 1, 1899, 40° N. latitude, 

 70° W. longitude. (Bull. U. S. Fish Commission, 19, 1899, 240.) Those marked 

 with a * have already been mentioned in the list of Rhode Island fishes given 

 above. It is interesting to note their occurrence in the Gulf Stream, as it in 

 part explains their occasional presence in Rhode Island waters nearer shore. 



3. Seriola fasciata (Bloch). Range, West Indies to Charleston, S. C. One 



specimen. 



4. *Trachurops crunienophthalmus (Bloch). Range, Atlantic coast of 



United States. Two specimens. 



5. *Caranx crysos i,Mit chill). Hard-tail. Range, Cape Cod to Brazil. One 



specimen.
