AT the time of writing the description of the Variegated 

 Sole for the first edition of the British Fishes, vol. ii. p. 262, 

 I had not seen a specimen of the true Solea parva sive lin- 

 gula of Rondeletius, and I find that I then included two dis- 

 tinct species in the synonym es employed to designate the 

 Variegated Sole. The Rev. L. Jcnyns, in his Manual of 

 British Vertebrate Animals, appears to have suspected that 

 there was a fourth species of Sole on our coast, since, at the 

 conclusion of the description of his third species, he has ob- 

 served, " further observation is necessary in order to decide 

 whether, in this instance, I have confounded two nearly allied 

 species."
