FISHES. 



19T 



Cynthia carnea Ag. (C. placenta Pack.). Strait of 

 Belle Isle, 40 f.; Henley Harbor, 10-20 f.; Cateau 

 Harbor, 15 f. 



Pelonaia arenifera Stimps. Strait of Belle Isle, I5f.

Fishes. 



Somniosus microcephalus (Block). "Sleeper shark." 

 Not rare all along the coast. {Stearns.) 



Scomber vernalis Mitch. A few mackerel are taken 

 in August in Salmon Bay and Red Bay. The Strait of 

 Belle Isle is evidently the northern limit of this genus. 



Pygosteus Cuvieri Brevoorti. {Gasterosteus Cuvieri 

 Girard ; Gasterosteus biaculeatus Auct. in part). A 

 large number of specimens from a tidal fresh-water 

 spring, near Salmon River, Strait of Belle Isle. 



Ammodytes dubius Reinhardt. Four specimens from 

 Sloop Harbor, collected in July. They differ from the 

 A. americanus of our coast in having a much longer 

 body. This species is probably the American one con- 

 sidered by some authors as the A. tobianus. (Putnam.) 



Sebastes norvegicus Cuv. Young specimens were 

 dredged in fifteen fathoms. 



Gymnacanthus patris (Storer). Three specimens 

 from Henley Harbor, collected in July. 



Cottus scorpioides Fabr. Sculpin. (Stearns.) 



Cottus grcenlandtcus Cuv. and Val. Northern sculpin. 

 (Stearns.) 



Gymnacanthus pistilliger (Pallas). (Stearns.) 



Hippoglossoides platessoides Fabr. Arctic dab. Com- 

 mon in harbors. (Stearns.)
