of the South Atlantic States it was found impossible to separate the 

 crappie from the other sunfishes except in the State of Florida. 

 Harvest fish (Peprilus alepidotus), caught together with butterfish 

 (Poronotus triancanthus) , and selling at the same price, were often 

 included with the latter, but separation of the statistics has been 

 made in so far as possible. The pigfish (Orthopristis cJirysopterus) is 

 sometimes known as hogfish in North Carolina, and it is possible that 

 some of the hogfish reported in North Carolina may be this species 

 rather than the hogfish (Lachnolaimus maximus) more commonly- 

 found in the Florida waters. Both the fresh-water catfish (Ameiurus 

 species and Ictalurus species) and the salt-water catfish (Felichthys 

 species and Galeichthys species) were included together. In North 

 Carolina it was possible to report the gray trout (Cynoscion regalis) 

 and the speckled trout {Cynoscion nehulosus) separately; elsewhere 

 they have been included together under the name squeteague or 

 "sea trout."
