Myakka Eiver and fresh pond near the river. This and the other sunflsheslj 
obtained are common species of the southern lowlands.

Myakka River. The most southern locality recorded for this species. jn|

Myakka River. The most southern locality yet recorded for this sunfish. s 
58. Lepomis punctatus Ciiv. & Val. Spotted Bream. j

farther south on the east coast, in waters emptying into Biscayne Bay. * 
59. Lepomis pallidus Mitchill. Blue Bream. | ; 
Western Florida. Specimens from a fresh- water pond on Point Pinellas were the

SERRANIDiE. j 
60. Serranus subligarius (Cope). 
Big Gasparilla; Lemon Bay. Small specimens not uncommon in the bays. | 
CENTROPOMIDiB. 
61. Centropomus undecimMis (Bloch). Ravallia; Snook. 
West coast of Florida. Abundant in all bays and brackish waters and running 
up the larger fresh streams. A voracious, gamy fish with pikelike habits. My pilot 
grained some in Card’s Sound ranging up to 25 or 30 pounds in weight. It is a fair 
food-fish, but tastes somewhat soapy or slimy unless skinned. The fin formula of 
several was D. VI, 10 ; A. II, 6. 
SPARIDiB. 
62. Lutjanus synagris (Linnaeus). Lane Snapper. 
Barnes’ Sound ) Key West; Lemon Bay. This pretty and strongly marked species 
was very abundant along the Florida Keys, and is a favorite pan-fish at Key West. 
The young were common along the west coast. 
63. Lutjanus analis (Cuv. &Val.). Mutton-fish. 
West coast of Florida. A common species in the channels about the Keys, and a 
fairly good food-fish, growing to a foot or two in length. Not seen along the mainland. 
64. Lutjanus griseus (liinnteus). Mangrove Snapper. 
Key West; Myakka River. Abundant about the mangroves in all bays and inlets, 
and often in brackish water. It is a good game fish, taking both bait and artificial fiy, 
but being very shy it must be fished for cautiously. It is a good food-fish, usually 
weighing a pound or two, occasionally five or six. 
65. Lutjanus aya (Bloch). Red Snapper. 
Key West; Snapper Banks. A large number of this well-known species was 
taken with hand-lines on the ‘‘banks” north of Dry Tortugas by the Orampug’, weigh- 
ing from 5 to 20 pounds each.
