CATALOGUE OF FISHES . 



Catalogue of Fishes, copied from a " Beport on the Fishes observed on 

 the Coasts of New Jersey and Long Island, during the summer of 

 1854. By Spencer F. Bated, Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian 

 Institution." From the Ninth Annual Report of the Smithsonian 

 Institution for 1854. 



Almost all the species mentioned here were taken at Beesley's Point. 



In this Catalogue no species have been introduced except those which 

 were actually caught, and carefully examined; though "many others, 

 doubtless, are to be found in the same region." — Prof. Baird.
