THE FISHES OF NEW JERSEY. 253 
A dusky-olive bar from eye back to occiput. From just before 
origin of dorsal to base of pectoral a broad band of dusky-olive, 
and becoming more or less ochraceous below as it continues a 
little below base of pectoral. Another similar band from base of 
spinous dorsal posteriorly and fading out below. Three more 
from soft dorsal, all wider than interspaces, and last two con- 
tinued out to edge of anal. Another paler one across caudal 
peduncle, and another blotch on base of caudal. Blotches on 
upper fins black, on anal more or less brassy, and outer lobes of 
caudal blackish with extreme tips narrowly whitish. Edges of 
soft dorsal and anal narrowly whitish. Iris dull straw-color. 
Inside of mouth and gill-opening whitish. 
My examples from the above locality obtained by Mr. Wm. 
J. Fox in August of 1905. A large food-fish reaching 3 feet in 
length and frequently occurring on our coast. The dark vertical 
bands disappear with age.
