(D) Savt-waTER FISHES OF FLORIDA AND THE GULF OF MEXICo. 
The fishes of Florida and the southern coast of the United States west 
of the peninsula are coupled together for the sake of convenience, and 
not because they constitute a homogeneous fauna. The southern part of 
Florida has a fish fauna like that of the Caribbean Sea, while the Gulf coast 
yields to the fisherman species congeneric with or even identical with those 
of the Carolinian subregion.
