~ entirely unknown along the oceanic coast of Europe ; also as 
being found on all the central and southern shores of America, 
even as far north as Newfoundland. This distribution of 
Dactylopterus volitans is supposed to be aided by the 
waters of the Gulf Stream. 
The fish appears to be unknown to the Bermuda fisher- 
men. 
A small fish known by the common name of “ Anchovy,” 
but which I believe to be the Sardine of commerce, (Clupea 
sardina,) frequents the shallow creeks and harbours of the 
Bermudas in immense shoals, in February and March. 
It averages about five inches in length. 
A Bream (Abramis?) is also a very common fish, large 
shoals of which appear in the shallow waters. These are 
frequently enclosed in nets, and kept as a reserve from 
-whence to supply the daily demand. 
The Sennet is likewise a common fish in the waters of 
Bermuda, and sells freely in the market.
