THE FISHES OF NEW JERSEY. III 
Teeth in both jaws fine. Maxillary nearly reaching gill-opening. 
Cheek rather broadly triangular. Interorbital space convex. 
Gill-rakers long, 20 + 23, longest about 2% of orbit. Belly com- 
pressed and slightly serrulate. Dorsal inserted nearer base of 
caudal than tip of snout. Anal begins close after dorsal and 
its base greater than head. Caudal forked. Pectoral reaching 
ventral, and latter half way to anal, though not to origin of 
dorsal. ‘Translucent, with an ill-defined narrow silvery band 
hardly greater in width than pupil. Length 25% inches. In the 
Delaware River off Fort Delaware. 
I have many examples from the above locality and Beesley’s 
Point, where it seems to be abundant. It is also very abundant 
in the surf at Ocean City in company with Anchovia brownit, 
though never attaining to such a large size. It is also somewhat 
brassy 1n color in life’

Head 3%; depth 4; D. 11, 9’; A. Iv, 25; scales about 35 to 
base of caudal, and 3 more on latter; 8 scales between dorsal and 
anal; snout 5% in head; eye 4%; maxillary 17/,; interorbital 
space 334; base of dorsal 214; length of depressed dorsal 1% ; 
base of anal 11/,,; upper caudal lobe 11/,,; least depth of caudal 
peduncle 234; pectoral 134; ventral 2. Body rather short, deep, 
well compressed and back a little elevated with convex profile 
anteriorly. Head short, deep. Snout rather short, blunt and 
little projecting. Diameter of pupil about 2% of snout. Teeth 
fine in both jaws. Maxillary not quite reaching gill-opening. 
Cheek rather narrowly triangular. Interorbital space convex. 
Gill-rakers long, 17 + 19, longest equal to orbit. Belly with com- 
pressed serrulate edge. Origin of dorsal midway between tip of 
snout and base of caudal, base of fin entirely before beginning 
of anal. Anal in a scaly sheath and its insertion falling a little 
nearer base of caudal than origin of pectoral. Caudal deeply 
forked, lobes pointed. Pectoral reaching a little beyond base of
