seine. Many were quite large and the striped females were 
especially abundant. Mr. David McCadden and myself found 
them rather abundant in the surf at Stone Harbor July 25th. 
They were all more or less pale sandy-brown. Mr. McCadden 
found it common at Ocean City during the past August. 
Fundulus heteroclitus macrolepidotus (Walbaum). 
Mummichog. 
Taken at Ocean City, August 19th, 1906, by Mr. D. McCad- 
den. Occurs abundantly in ditches on the salt-marsh at Palermo. 
In Cedar Swamp Creek Mr. T. D. Keim and myself found them 
above the dam at Petersburg in tide-water, April 16th, 1906. All 
were small. They also occur in fresh ponds and at the edge of 
the salt-marsh associated with Fundulus diaphanus, to which 
these remarks will also apply, though the latter is less abundant in 
the salt water. 
Examples taken in Cedar Swamp Creek tide-water at Peters- 
burg, December 31st, 1905, by T. D. Keim and H. W. Fowler, 
were darker than F. diaphanus, and with slaty-bluish sides. 
Peritoneum and lower surface of head silvery. Iris pearl-color. 
Streaks on side pale dusky, after death darker. Examples about 
2% inches. They vary in color in the same waters, as some are 
much darker and others lighter. 
Mr. Wm. J. Fox noted a large school on the meadows above 
Sea Isle City, March 18th, 1906. H. W. Hand, T. D. Keim 
and myself found them abundant in the tide-marshes near Den- 
nisville in Cape May County during September of 1906. They 
were mostly small females, but few pearly-spotted males without 
yellow-edged dorsals, ete. 
Fundulus diaphanus (Le Sueur).
