CYPRINIDJG. 
136. Notemigonus chryaoleucus (Mitchill). Golden Shiner. 
Myakka Kiver ; Tampa. This species is common in the fresh and brackish streams 
emptying into Myakka and Hillsborough Elvers. 
ALBULIDiE. 
137. Albula vulpes (Linnajus). Bonelish. 
Key West; Pavilion Key; San Carlos Pass. Took a number of specimens with 
bait and artificial fly, and captured a few in the seines — all adult ; young not seen. 
ELOPIDiE. 
138. Megalops atlanticus (Cuv. and Val.). Tarpon. 
Card’s Sound. Grained several from 10 to 30 pounds in weight in Card’s Sound, 
but did not meet with it again on the west coast owing to the water being unusually 
cold. When I arrived at Punta Bassa on March 3 I learned that the first tarpon of 
the season had been taken the day before, although a score of anglers had been fishing 
for them daily for several weeks. I have never seen the young on the Florida coasts, 
the smallest observed being from 8 to 10 pounds in weight. 
CLUPEIDiE. 
139. Clupea pensacolae (Goode and Bean). Striped Pilchard. 
Florida Keys, west coast of Florida. A very common species at deep-water 
inlets and about the Keys. 
MUR^aiNIDiE. 
140. Sidera funebris (Ranzani). Green Moray. 
Dry Tortugas; Key West; Marco. Captured a large one at Loggerhead Key, 
Dry Tortugas. Saw several at Key West, and took one in the seine at Marco, too 
large to preserve. 
141. Sidera moringa (Cuvier). Moray. 
Key Largo ; Key West. Took two large specimens at Key Largo, and saw one 
at Key West. 
BELONIDiE. 
142. Tylosurus crassus (Poey). Hound. 
Florida Keys. Took several along the Keys from 2 to 4 feet long. Frequently 
saw them skipping along the surface and sometimes making long horizontal leaps 
above the water. 
143. Hemirhamphus unifasciatus Ranzani. Needle-fish. 
Florida Keys. Took a number of specimens of this and the next species along 
the Keys and at Dry Tortugas, but none small enough to go into my collecting jars. 
144. Hemirhamphus balao Le Sueur. Needle-fish. 
Florida Keys. 
145. Exocoetus exiliens Gmelin. Flying-fish. 
Gulf of Mexico; Atlantic Ocean. Saw numerous specimens; one or two were 
taken aboard, which I identified as belonging to this species.
