164 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES. 
Again, it is true that a very large number of the species which have been recorded 
for the Woods Hole region do not réally belong to our local fauna at all, but are to be 
regarded as occasional stragglers which probably follow the Gulf Stream hither from the 
tropical or semitropical seas. Such without exception are the barracudas (Sphyrenide), 
pompanos (Trachynotus), groupers (Epinephelus, Garuppa, Mycieroperca), snappers 
(Lutianus), parrot-fishes (Scarus, Sparisoma), butterfly-fishes (Chetodon), surgeon-fishes 
(Teuthis), trunk-fishes (Lactophrys), and the sargassum-fish (Pterophryne histrto) ; 
together with most of the flying-fishes (Exocetide), drums (Screnide), and many others. 
But the list of southward-ranging species is likewise seen to comprise the greater 
number of our most familiar local fishes, both the permanent residents and the “migra- 
tory’ species, which are only observed during half of the year or less. 
Of the northern species less than half are taken with any frequency in local waters. 
To this group belong most of the sticklebacks and sculpins, the lumpsucker and “‘sea 
snails,” all of the “‘blenniform’’ fishes (Pholis, Ulvaria, Cryptacanthodes, Anarhichas, 
Zoarces, Lycodes), about half of the Gadidz, three of the flounders, and several others. 
It is quite likely that in the deep, cold waters offshore other representatives of the 
northern fish fauna would be taken. 
The following table includes all of the identified species comprised in our annotated 
list, grouped according to their known range as northern or southern.
