Twenty marine fishes are reported for the first time from the waters ofNorth or South Carolina, and seven additional species considered rare in these waters are also recorded. Gonadal condition and stomach contents of the largest known female Scyliorhinus meadi, a rare scyliorhinid shark, are described for the first time. Many additional records of Fistularia petimba from throughout its distributional range are included, and food habits of 15 North Carolina specimens are examined. Nine additional adults and subadults of the uncommon prlacanthid Cookeolus boops are reported, and coloration of a subadult is recorded. Few coastal regions of the western Atlantic have been as well studied as that of the Carolinas. The historical presence of numerous marine laboratories, as well as extensive government sponsored surveys of the region (e.g., Anderson and Gutherz, 1965; Bullis and Thompson, 1965; Fahay, 1975; Wilk and Silverman, 1976), have been instrumental in developing our present knowledge of the fishes. Nevertheless, ongoing sampling continues to yield species new to the area (McEachran and Eschmeyer, 1973; Burgess and MacPherson, 1975; Anderson et al., 1975: Ross and Fast, 1977), 20 of which are included in this report. In addition, the occurrence of seven species considered rare in North and South Carolina waters is also recorded. Specimens cited are deposited in the collections of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (ANSP), Duke University Marine Laboratory (DUML),
