Whenever the boat drifted off the grounds no more were taken. That there is a variety of fish life on this bank and the neighboring patches of coral is evidenced by the fact that 46 species have been reported. Among the food fishes the following have been taken, but not in sufficient numbers to indicate that they will be of commercial importance: Dolphins (CorijpTisena liippurus), squirrel-fish (Diplec- tr-um fortnosum) , bastard snapper {Rliomhoplites aurombens), hogfish {Qrthopristis chrysopt...erus) , grunt (Ilsemulon plumieri), red-mouthed grunt or torn tate {Batliy stoma rimator), sailor's choice or spot-tailed pinfish (Diplodus lioTbrookii) , red porgy (Pagrus pagrus), two species of porgies (Calamus sp.), and flounders (Paralichthys albiguttus). The FisJi Hawk worked around this bank and followed a zigzag course across the 15-fathom fine to a point more than 30 miles to the west-southwest, making occasional stops to search for other banks. During, this brief survey other banks or patches of rock where blackfish were found in comparative abundance or where the conditions were favorable to then- existence were located but not surveyed.
