THE FISHES OF NEW JERSEY. 427 
Pterophryne histrio (Linnzus). 
Mouse Fish. 
Distinguished from the next chiefly by the bifurcate bait on 
first dorsal. 
This is a Gulf Stream straggler in floating seaweed, especially 
floating masses of Sargassum. It is very variable in color. Once 
recorded by Dr. Abbott from Beesley’s Point. I have no ex- 
amples.

Pterophryne gibba (Mitchill). 
Bait bulbous and covered with fleshy filaments. 
Dr. Abbott states this species is more frequently met with than 
the preceding. I have never seen any New Jersey examples.
