. American food and game fishes : a popular account of all the species found in America north of the Equator, with keys for ready identification, life histories and methods of capture. Fishes -- United States. C. philadelphicus, the rock sea-bass, is found on rocky shores of South Carolina, in rather deep water. It is rather common about Charleston, but has not been seen elsewhere. It reaches 8 or 10 inches in length, and may be known by the tleshy filaments on the dorsal spines. Another species, C. riifiis, has been described from Martinique, but it is of doubtful validity.
