Genus ErruMEus Bleeker. 
The Round Herrings. 
Etrumeus teres (De Kay). 
Round Herring. 
Distinguished from all our herrings by the rounded belly. 
I have no examples. I follow Dr. Bean in using the Alosa 
teres of DeKay as the oldest available name for this species as 
Mitchill’s Clupea sadina was evidently a Pomolobus.

Common Herring. Clupea harengus Linneus. 
From our other herrings, such as the shad and alewives, this 
one may be distinguished by the presence of vomerine teeth. 
I know it only from Dr. Abbott’s reference which credits it as 
of erratic occurrence, though very abundant at times. 
Clupea elongata Abbott, Geol. N. J., 1868, p. 821.
