Fam. SCOMBRIDZ. 
SCOMBER scomBRUs, L. Mackerel. Scomber scomber, 
Gunth. As on other coasts this fish is more abund- 
ant some seasons than others; attributable no doubt 
to the ample food supply, or scarcity, as the case 
may be. It generally consists of the minute fry of 
other fishes; but when that particular food fails, 
they appear to resort to the minute crustacea. Dr. 
Gilpin carefully describes this species in Trans. N. 8.
