Reference to the general purpose and plan of the illustrations has already been made on page 272 
of this report. Under the figure of each fish the scientific name of the species and the name of the 
original describer are given. These are followed by a name or names, in italic type, representing the most 
acceptable or generally employed common designation of the fish. The names in roman letters are the 
vernaculars in this region; their distribution, when not general in the South Atlantic States, is indi- 
cated. The absence of a name in roman letters, as in the case of the sturgeon, shad, sheepshead, and 
croaker, indicates that the local names are the same as the common names. The omission of the name 
in italics, which occurs in a few cases, means that no general common names are known and that only 
local names exist.
