NOTES ON NEW JERSEY FISHES. 373 



Fundulus diaphanus (Le Sueur). 

 Barred Killifish. 



Small example taken in the upper waters of Crooked Creek, near 

 Cape May Court House, Cape Ma} 7 county, January 5th, 1908. 



Abundant in the Delaware River, near Florence, Burlington county, 

 on July llth, 1908. Many were males, and some large females were 

 also seen, though the former had lost some of their brilliancy. 



The most abundant fish met with along the shores of Newbold's 

 Island, Burlington count}', in the Delaware River, on August 13th, 

 1908. Some were quite large or full-sized adults, and quite larger 

 than the last species. These very large examples were dull sandy- 

 brown, with dull vertical bars. Medium-sized individuals, males with 

 faded breeding-dress, were rather common. Some others were quite 

 small, though they all retained but faint traces of their former bril- 

 liant yellowish and azure tints. The young were very common. 



Very abundant, and reaching a larger size than the preceding, in 

 the lower tidal of the Assiscunk Creek, near Burlington, on September 

 15th, 1908. 



Very abund'ant on Burlington Island. 



Family BELONID^E. 



Tylosurus marinus (Walbaum). 

 Green Gar. 



One small example found in the Delaware River, near Florence, 

 Burlington county, on July llth, 1908. Others of larger size were 

 seen. 



In the Delaware River, at Newbold's Island, Burlington county, on 

 August 13th, 1908, several small ones were taken, and some large ones 

 about a foot in length were seen. They were probably more frequently 

 captured than we supposed, but were easily enabled to slip through 

 the meshes of the net on account of their slender bodies, and thus dis- 

 appear before being observed as the net was hauled ashore. 



Mr. J. B. Vanderveer says the bill fish is rather rare in the Dela- 

 ware, appearing sometimes in a small school of about a dozen, though
