Surf. — More species and more specimens of fishes 

 were caught in the surf during the second year than in 

 the first year, but the weight of fishes caught in the sec- 

 ond year was only 60^ of those caught in the first year 

 (see Table 6). A considerable portion of this difference 

 was due to the capture during the first year of 20 Mugil 

 cephalus with a total weight in excess of 1.5 kg and a 



single specimen of Pogonias cromis which weighed more 

 than 1.2 kg. 



Comparisons of seasonal catches between the two 

 years show close similarities in numbers of species in cor- 

 responding seasons except summer. The summer of the 

 second year produced almost half again as many species 

 as that of the first year. Winter, spring, and summer in
