 length; dorsal and pectoral fins clear; pelvic and anal fins with some 

 black bands; caudal with 2-3 black bands (Fig. 1). 



This is only the second specimen yet collected of this species; how- 

 ever, further study, especially on allometric growth effects, may reveal 

 that D. armatus and D. americanus are conspecific. 



Gasterosteidae 



Gasterosteus aculeatus Linnaeus. A threespine stickleback was col- 

 lected from the BSEP traveling screens on 21 February 1979 (52 mm; 

 UF 30594). It was previously known only as far south as Chesapeake 

 Bay (Burgess and Lee 1980). 



Apeltes quadracus (Mitchill). The fourspine stickleback has pre- 

 viously been reported in North Carolina from a single specimen col- 

 lected in the Trent River, Craven County (Rhode et al. 1979). We report 

 two additional specimens from North Carolina: Stumpy Point Bay, 

 Pamlico Sound, 18 February 1975 (40 mm; UF 30593), and a gravid
