Fishes of the Western North Atlantic 543 



The wintering ground of the sparse population of both young and adults that visit 

 the east coast of the United States in summer is not known. It seems more likely that they 

 move out into deeper water than that they migrate southward along the shore, for Angel 

 Sharks are scarce around Florida, while one specimen was trawled about 75 miles off Long 

 Island, New York, in February 1920, and another about 25 miles off Bodie Island, North 

 Carolina, in about 40 fathoms in February 1931.'°
