{519] INVERTEBRATE ANIMALS OF VINEYARD SOUND, ETC. 225 
As an illustration of the character and diversity of the haddock’s food, 
I add a list of the species taken from the stomach of a single specimen, 
from the Boston market, and doubtless caught in Massachusetts Bay, 
September, 1871. 
GASTROPODS. 
Natica clausa. 
Margarita Greenlandica. 
LAMELLIBRANCHS. 
Leda tenuisuleata. 
Nucula proxima. 
N. tenuis. 
Crenella glandula. 
ECHINODERMS. 
Psolus phantapus. 
Lophothuria Fabricii. 
In addition to these there were fragments of shrimp, probably Panda- 
lus annulicornis, and numerous Annelids, too much digested for identi- 
fication. 
Tom-Cop; Frost-Fisu; (Microgadus tom-codus.) 
Several specimens from New Haven Harbor, January 50, contained 
numerous Amphipods, among which were Mera levis ; Gammarus, sp. ; 
Ampelisca, sp. ; an undetermined Macrouran; numerous Entomostraca ; 
the larva of Chironomus oceanicus. 
A lot taken in a small pond at Wood’s Hole, in March, by Mr. Vinal 
N. Edwards, contained the common shrimp, Crangon vulgaris ; large 
numbers of the green shrimp, Virbius zostericola ; the prawn, Palamo- 
netes vulgaris ; large quantities of Amphipods, especially of Gammarus 
annulatus, G. natator, Calliopius leviuscula, and Microdeutopus minax ; 
and smaller numbers of Gammarus ornatus and G. mucronatus. 
Another lot of twelve, taken in April at the same place, contained 
most of the above, and in addition several other Amphipods, viz: Jara 
levis, Pontogeneia inermis, Ptilocheirus pinguis, and Caprella ; also Nereis 
virens, and various small fishes. 
OCELLATED FLOUNDER; SUMMER FLOUNDER; (Chcenopsetta ocellaris.) 
Several specimens taken in the seines, at Great Egg Harbor, New 
Jersey, in April, contained large quantities of shrimp, Crangon vulgaris 
and Mysis Americana ; one contained a full-grown Gebia affinis. 
One caught at Wood’s Hole, June 6, contained twenty-six specimens 
of Yoldia limatula; and numerous shells of Nucula provima, Angulus 
tener, and Tritia trivittata; and Amphipod Crustacea belonging to the 
genus Ampelisca.
