* In giving the occurrence of any species of fish, as from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras, 

 or between other limits, it is not necessarily to be understood that specimens have 

 actually been taken at these extremes, but only at some point between them. They 

 may, however, be looked for at other localities within the same range.
