DAE FISHES OF NEW JERSEY, 289 
Menidia menidia notata (Mitchill). 
Silversides. 
This is abundant at times on the sandy shoals at Sea Isle City. 
Mr. Fox secured many examples. It is sometimes associated 
with Fundulus mayjalis, F. heteroclitus macrolepidotus and Cy- 
prinodon variegatus, on the meadows back of Grassy Sound, 
where I have found it. Most of these examples however are 
small. H. Walker Hand, T. D. Keim and myself seined it in 
Lily Lake, which is fresh-water, at Cape May Point, May 7th, 
1905. ‘This is however but a few rods from the salt-water, which 
in stormy weather is said to wash in. Its association with such 
fresh-water fishes as Eupomotis gibbosus, Fundulus diaphanus, 
Ameturus, etc., which also occur there, is interesting. 
Family MUGILIDE. 
Mugil curema Valenciennes. 
White Mullet. 
Mr. Fox and myself found it abundant in schools in the waters 
back of Sea Isle City associated more or less with other small 
fishes. Their usual habit of schooling in the warm sandy shal- 
lows and producing quite a commotion on the surface of the 
water was noticed. They readily skip over the floats of a small 
seine when hauled ashore. They reach about 6 inches in length 
in this locality. 
Family SPHYRZENIDE. 
Sphyrzena barracuda (Walbaum). 
Barracuda. Sphyrena barracuda (Walbaum). (Young.)
