 6000. Great Egg Harbor, New Jersey, William Stimpson ; 10 9 specimens. 



(Old collection ; host not recorded, but probably from Menhaden). 



Prof. S. I. Siiiith {loc. cit.) records this species from Menhaden taken 

 at Great l^gg Harbor, New Jersey, and Stinipson's specimens above 

 mentioned were tiudoubtedly obtained from the same tisli, althonfjjii 

 their origin is not stated on the label attached to them. It can scarcely 

 be regarded as an abundant species, at least not at all seasons, and the 

 specimens entered in the above list as from Vineyard Sound were only 

 obtained after an examination of numy hundred fish. 



Lernaea branchialis, Linn. 



Systema Naturae; Steenstrup & Liitkeu, op. «<., p. 403, pi. 13, fig. 28, (var.

The majority of the specimens in the collection approach more nearly 

 the var. sigmoidea., Steenstrup & Liitken, than the typical form as 

 commonly figured. 



Lernaeolophus sultanus, (Nordmaun) Heller. 



Reise der G'^sterreichischeu Fregatte Novara um die Erde, in den Jahren J857, 

 1858, 1859; Crustaceen. p. 251, pi. 25, fig. 7, 1868.

6186. Vineyard Sound, Massachusetts, U. S. Fish Commission, 1874 ; 4 9 

 8i>ecimeus. 



Agrees quite closely with the figure given by Heller, except that the 

 appendages about the mouth are not so distinctly uncinate. 



Haemobaphes cyclopterina, (Fabr ) Steenstrup & Liitken. 

 Oj). at., p. 405, pi. 13, fig. 30, 1861. 



From Lycodes VerriUii, Goode & Bean : 



6137. South of Seal Island, Nova Scotia, U. S. Fish Commission, 1877; 1 9 

 specimen. 



The single specimen in the collection is not in a sufficiently perfect 

 condition to permit of a careful examination of the mouth parts, but in 

 all other details it agrees quite well with the figures of Steenstrup and 

 Liitken.
