 logical Survey of the waters of Woods Hole and vi- 

 cinity, Sec. Ill, — A Catalogue of Marine Fauna 

 (Bull. Bur. Fish., Vol. XXXI, Part II, 1913) do 

 not list this species. The species appears to be not 

 uncommon at Woods Hole. Several examples were 

 taken at this place during the summer of 1915, and 

 an example is in the museum collection of the United 

 States Fisheries Laboratory. 



Tarpon atlanticus (Cuvier & Valenciennes). Al- 

 though this species strays as far north as the south- 

 ern coast of Cape Cod, Mass., being taken at South 

 Dartmouth nearly every year, and occasionally in the 

 vicinity of Woods Hole, the writer knows of no rec- 

 ord for more northern points. On July 25, 1915, a 

 tarpon about 6V2 feet in length was taken at Prov- 

 incetown, Mass. 



Harengula Sardinia Poey. Of the range of this 

 species, Jordan & Evermann, in Fishes of North and 

 Middle America (Bull. 47, U. S. N. M., 1896, p. 

 430) say: "West Indian fauna; abundant; north to 

 Key West." In the collections of the United States 

 Fisheries Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods 

 Hole are several examples of this species about 3 

 inches in length which, according to the label, were 

 taken at Woods Hole, Mass., October 10, 1886.
