 1906. Mr. Henry Warrington secured it in the Rancocas Creek, 

 near Medford, in January of 1899. 



Family SERRANID^. 

 Roccus iineatus (Bloch). 



Rock. 



Reported as "rock" in the tide-water of Dennis Creek, in Cape 

 May county. In the latter it occurs all along the surf and bites 

 well in Corson's Inlet, which is famous for its "rock fishing." 

 They are also angled at Scotch Bonnet and Gray Channel. In 

 Delaware Bay they occur from Cape May Point to Dennis Creek, 

 and are also angled further up or at Maurice River. One taken 

 at Wildwood in 1906 weighed 32 pounds, according to Mr. Hand. 

 Recently, an example was taken in Cape May Inlet weighing 

 about 15 pounds. 



Several small ones found in the ponds at Green Creek on May 

 5th, 1907. They had all passed up the bay by June 9th. 



Reported from Somers Point and Beesley's Point in Great 

 Egg Harbor Bay early in the summer. Also taken in the Tuck- 

 ahoe River to the bridge, according to reports. 



Mr. J. B. Vanderveer, of Trenton, says the largest example 

 he knows of taken in the river weighed 33 pounds. He thought 

 that the rock fish spawns in Delaware Bay, though the young 

 were taken in summer.

White Perch. 



Reported to occur in the tide-water of Dennis Creek, in Cape 

 May county. It ranges along the bay-shore from Cedar Hum-
