Northern Star Gazer. Spotted Star Gazer. 
My example from Atlantic City, described in last year’s report 
as Astroscopus y-grecum, after a comparison with an example 
from Florida, I find to be undoubtedly the present species. At 
that time I had not any other material available for comparison, 
and concluded the Atlantic City example must be distinct. It, 
however, appears to be nothing more than the adult of the present 
species. Therefore, the statement in my description that the 
“naked space between forks of Y on top of head long and narrow, 
but shorter than vertical limb of Y,” is erroneous. I have also 
just examined a young example, taken at Beesley’s Point many 
years ago by Samuel Ashmead. ‘Thus so far but a single species 
may be said to occur on our coasts.
