of Fishes found in Cornwall. 77 
GYMNETRUS. 
Ceil Conin. G. Hawkenii, Bloch.—This fish was drawn on shore 
in a net at Newlin in this county, in February 1791. "The 
extremity of the tail was wanting; the length of what re- 
mained was eight feet and a half, the depth ten inches and a 
half, thickness two inches and three quarters, weight forty 
pounds. A coloured drawing of this fish is in the posses- 
sion of William Rashleigh, Esq. F.L.S. of Menabilly. 
Gogius. 
Spotted Goby. G. Aphya.—In the summer months this fish is 
found in numbers among the rocks. 
Rockfish. G. niger.—This is much more rare than the former. 
Corrus. 
Bullhead. C. Gobio.—There are many brooks in this county 
in which this fish is not known. This species and C. Scor- 
pius want the air-bladder. 
ZEUS. : 
Doree. Z. Faber.—'This fish visits our coasts when Pilchards 
make their appearance, and continues until spring. Al- 
though it appears to move slowly through the water, it con- 
trives to satisfy its voracity by the capture of fishes which 
possess considerable activity ; it will even overtake and 
devour a Cuttle as long as itself. 
PLEURONECTES. 
$ With Eyes on the right side. 
Holibut. P. Hippoglossus.—This is the largest of the genus; 
but I have not seen one exceeding a hundred and twenty- 
four pounds in weight. |
