THE FISHES OF XEW JERSEY. 93 



Genus Etrumeus Bleeker. 

 The Round Herrings. 



Etrumeus teres (DeKay). 

 Round Herring. 



Distinguished from all our herrings by the rounded belly. 



I have no examples. I follow Dr. Bean in using the Alosa 

 teres of DeKay as the oldest available name for this species as 

 ^litchill's Chipea sadina was evidently a Pomolobus. 



Alosa teres Baird, 9th An. Rep. Smiths. Inst., 1854, p. 349. 



Btriimeus teres Abbott, Geol. X. J., 1868, p. 823. — Bean, Bull. 

 U. S. F. Com., VII, 1887, p. 148. 



Btrumeus sadina Moore, Bull. U. S. F. Com., XII, 1892, p. 



358. 



Genus Ci^upea Linnaeus. 



The Herrings. 



Clupea harengiis LiniiEEUs. 



Common Herring. 



Common Herring. Clupea Imrciigiis Linnaeus. 



From our other herrings, such as the shad and alewives. this 

 one may be distinguished by the presence of vomerine teeth. 



I know it only from Dr. Abbott's reference which credits it as 

 of erratic occurrence, though very abundant at times. 



Clupea elongata Abbott, Geol. X. J., 1868, p. 821.
