'T^HE common Mackerel, Scomber scomhnis, is an inhal)itant of the North Atlantic Ocean. On our coast its southern limit is in the neighborhood of Cape Hattcras in early sj^ring. 'I'he fishing schooners of New England find schools of them in this region at some distance from the shore, but there is no record of tlieir having been taken in any num- bers in shoal water south of Long Island. A. W. Simpson states that the species has been observed in the sounds about Cape Hatteras in Augu^r, September and October. R. E. Earll finds evidence that siragglers occasionally enter the Chesapeake. Along ngland Mackerel abound throughout the summer ;5, and are also f(nind in great numbers in the Gulf of St. E.'Vience, where in past years fishermen of the United States congregated in great numbers to participate in their cajjlure. They are also found on the coast of Labrador, though there is no evidence that they ordinarily fretiuent the M'aters north of the Straits of Belle Isle. They appear also at times to have been abundant on the northeastern coast of Newfoundland, though their apjiearance there is quite irregular. Mackerel do not occur in Hudson's Bay nor on the coast of Greenland. ^ ; t m M.
