When Bishop Trelawney, so well known as one of the 

 six bishops committed to the Tower by James the Second, 

 endowed the Chapel of Ease at East Looe, and thereby ob- 

 tained the consent of the Rector of St. Martin to name the 

 curate, he appointed his friend Mr. Jago to the curacy ; and 

 the latter embraced the favourable opportunity thus placed 

 within his reach to make collections for an intended History 

 of Cornish Fishes, which, however, he never perfected. 

 Never having been married, his MS. and drawings at his 

 decease came into the possession of his friend Mr. Dyer, by 

 whom they were delivered to Dr. Borlase, the author of the 

 History of Cornwall.
