Institute; wHcli were taken off Beverly Bridge^ in Jan.;, 1858; by my brother^ C. A. 

 Putnam. 



16. Liparis^ (sp. ?) allied to i. arctica. 



Several years ago, living specimens of this species were in Mr. Cutting's Aquarial 

 Gardens^ and were dredged in the bay. Afterwards I obtained two specimens from Mr. 

 Fuller^ of Portland^ wbo collected tbem in Portland harbor. (These specimens are now 

 in the M. C. Z. at Cambridge.) There is also a specimen in the state cabinet^ col- 

 lected at Nahant; by Charles Flinty Esq.;» and Mr. Alex. Agassiz has also collected 

 specimens at Nahant; which are in the Museum at Cambridge. 



17. Leptocephahs gracilis ^ Storer. 



Mr. Caleb Cooke, of Salem, found four specimens of this species on Nahant Beach, 

 in the Sunnner of 1860. These specimens are now in the Essex Institute, Boston Soc. 

 Nat Hist., and Museum of Comp. Zoology. 



18. Ammodytes duhins^ Reinh. 



Dr. Gunther (Cat. Pish, iv. p. 387) states that there is a specimen of this species, in 

 the British Museum, which was taken in Boston. I mtich doubt the species beiug found 

 so far south, though I have seen large specimens of A. amerimnus^ that might be 

 easily mistaken for A. duhius^ from our bay. 



19. Syngnathis^ {sp, f) 



I have seen three or four specimens of a Sjmgnathus from Cape Cod, which were 

 three or four times the size of 8. pecManus^ and different in other respects from that 

 species. (Specimens in the Essex Institute, and Museum of Comp. Zoology.) 



20. ffoloUpis fmiformis^ Putk., Bui. Mus. Comp.ZooL, 1863. Sjn. Boleosomafusiforme^ 



GiR. 



Girard^s specimens were from Eramingham. I have found it very plenty in several 

 ponds in Essex County, and also in other parts of the state. 



21. Bemotilus eorporalis^ Abbott, Procd. Philad. Ac. Nat Sci, 1861, p. 154. 

 Have collected specimens of this fish in the brooks near Williams College.
