Cape Cod to Texas. 



Silurus marinus Mitchill, Trans. Lit. Phil. Soc. N. Y., I, 1815, 433,

In the investigation of Linntean types at Upsala Dr. Einar Lonnberg 

 has found an e.xample of this species labeled Silurus felis. On the 

 strength of this discovery this species has been called Felichthys felis. 

 But Linnseus's own description shows clearly that this was not his 

 type, which must have been our common sea cat here called Galeichthys 

 felis.
