FISHES FOUND IN THE VICINITY OF WOODS HOLE.

IV.— LIST OF FISHES RECORDED FROM ADJACENT LOCALITIES WHICH MAY 
BE LOOKED FOR AT WOODS HOLE. 
Besides stragglers from the high seas and the West Indies that may from time 
to time he detected at Woods Hole, a number of species have been obtained within 
comparatively short distances to the north or south of the region which are liable to 
be added to the local fauna. Narragansett Bay, for instance, distant only 35 miles, 
has yielded several species not yet observed at Woods Hole; and there are also some 
more northern shore fishes regularly found as far south as Cape Cod which are to be 
looked for in Vineyard Sound. The following list, not by any means complete, is 
suggestive of the possible augmentation of the already rich fauna of Woods Hole. 
Scoliodon terrag-novas (Richardson). Sliarp-nosed Shark. Cape Cod to Brazil. 
Lamna cornubica (Gmelin). Porbeagle; Mackerel Shark. Newfoundland to West Indies; com- 
mon on Massachusetts coast. 
Somniosus microcephalus (Bloch). North Atlantic, south to Cape Cod. 
Dasyatis hastata (DeKay). Sting Bay. West Indies, north to Rhode Island. 
Dorosoma cepedianum (LeSueur > . Gizzard Shad; Mud Shad. Cape Cod to Mexico. 
Cypsilurus gibbifrons (Cuvier & Valenciennes). Flying-fish. Atlantic Ocean ; Newport, R. I. 
Chloroscombrus chrysurus (Linnseus). Bumper. Cape Cod to Brazil. 
Spheroides testudineus (Linnaeus). Glohefisli; Swellfish. West Indies; in Gulf Stream as far 
north as Newport, R. I. 
Prionotus tribulus (Cuvier & Valenciennes). Sea-robin. Atlantic coast, north to Long Island. 
V.— FRESH-WATER FISHES COLLECTED IN THE VICINITY OF WOODS HOLE. 
Iu the fresh-water ponds near Woods Hole, a number of fishes are found, some of 
which have been mentioned in the foregoing list, together with others that are strictly 
fresh water species. Besides the white perch ( Morone americana ), spring minnow 
( Fundulus diaphanvs), four-spined stickleback ( Apeltes quadracus ), and nine-spined 
stickleback (Pygostens pungitius) already given, the following have been noted, speci 
mens being preserved iu the local collection. Further collecting will doubtless disclose 
the presence of other species. 
Catostomus commersonii (Lacdpede). Brook Sucker. 
Abramis crysoleucas (Mitchill). Golden shiner ; Roach; Dace. 
Notropis cornutus (Mitchill). Shiner ; Red-fin.
