A Supplementary Account of the Fishes of 
New Jersey. 
BY HENRY W. FOWLER. 
Since “The Fishes of New Jersey’ has appeared in the last 
Annual Report (1905), the writer has been extending his interest 
in the fish-fauna of the State. Much new material has been ex-

account. Several species have been added to our fauna, and other 
rare forms have been taken, most of which have been recorded

number of Science.

figured in my first report, those which are there omitted are now 
given in this account, with four exceptions (Dasybatus cen- 
troura, Tetronarce occidentalis, Roccus chrysops and Ptero- 
phryne, gibba). Several species which have been overlooked 
have been included. ‘The unfortunate error of commission in 
the case of referring the leopard shark to Galeus is here noted. 
It should have been referred to Galeocerdo Miller and Henle, 
as Galeus is the correct name for the European topes. In 
presenting the accompanying figures it is but fair to state that 
they are taken largely from the works of Le Sueur, De Kay, 
Storer, Valenciennes, Holbrook, Muller and Henle, Agassiz, 
Girard, Cope, Abbott, Bean, Jordan, Evermann, Marsh, Kendall 
and others. There are some few originals of my own. Details. 
are given in an appended “explanation of plates.” 
During the past warm weather Mr. William J. Fox has been 
located at Sea Isle City, and was able to make more complete 
collections of the region. He has been very successful in secur-
