This fish has not been observed north of New York, where it was recorded by Mitchill and DeKay, the latter of whom stated that it was not uncommon in the summer season. Prof. Baird found the young very abundant about Beesley's Point in 1S54, though the adults were unknown to the fishermen. Uhler and Lugger, who, following the mistaken nomenclature of Holbrook, confused this with a species of Liostomusy say it is common in the Chesapeake and Lower Potomac. It is also abundant about Beaufort, N. C, and in the vicinity of THE YELLOW-TAIL.
