A NEW RECORD FOR THE LUMPFISH 

 IN CHESAPEAKE BAY. 



This seems to be the second specimen to be re- 

 corded from Chesapeake Bay. It was caught in a 

 trap off Wolf Trap Light, April 29, 1914, by E. L. 

 Wilson, and later taken to the Bureau of Fisheries 

 for identification. The specimen was a large one 

 about 14 3 /4 inches long, and full of ripe or nearly ripe 

 eggs. B. F. tag 9548. 



In Forest and Stream, August 3, 1907, page 

 178, Barton A. Bean records the capture of an adult 

 female Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus), at Buckroe 

 Beach, Chesapeake Bay, about two miles north of 

 Old Point Comfort. It was included in a shipment 

 of fish to Messrs. Sheaffer & Stuart, of Washington, 

 D. C, by Thomas V. Weber, April 14. After de- 

 scribing the specimen Bean says: 



"The specimen here recorded is a female, appar- 

 ently having spawned; seventy eggs passed freely 

 from the fish while being measured."

During the past season a number of New Jer- 

 sey fishes have fallen under my notice. Though 

 most of the species are common, several interesting 

 associations and records are here given:
