 aperture of sharks, tunny, and sword-fish ; the Black-fish {Cetitrolophus sp.), 

 Dolphins {Coryphama sp.), Ray's Sea-bream and Ausonia Cuvieri {Pesce

 weighing 50 kilos, the first time since twenty years ago, when one was 

 caught at Muggia ; also the Caranx dentex, the Seriola Dumerilii, the 

 Derbio {Lizza bastardd), the LicJiia vadigo, the Boar-fish, the Sword-fish 

 {Pesce spadd), the Ribbon- fish [Pesce fake), the Histiophorus belone, the 

 Trumpet-fish {Pesce trombetta), besides various of the rarer species of the 

 Goby, Blenny, Wrasse, Cod, and Flat-fish tribes ; the larger kinds of 

 Sharks, which only occur sporadically in these waters ; the File and Sun- 

 fishes, the Needle-fishes, &c, &c. A specimen of Orthagoriscus Planet, the 

 truncated Sun-fish {Girasol) was caught not long since in the Ouarnero, 

 likewise a specimen of the Flying-fish (Fxoccetus). To these may be added

 but a specimen has been caught in a trawling-net in the Quarnero in the 

 month of October. 



The Sea-spider {Grazdole) is seldom to be found in the Fiume market 

 though common at Trieste. Other kinds of crabs, as for instance, Stenor- 

 rhynclms phalangium, Xantho Jloridus, Pagurtis sp., Galathea sp., are 

 occasionally met with. Dromia Rtnnphii and Pinnothcnis veterum are less 

 prevalent. Amongst the shell-fish, Spondylus aculeatus, Haliotis tuberculata, 

 Dentahtim entails, Cerithium vulgatum, Turritella communis, Aporrhais pes 

 pelecani, and Dolium galea, are occasionally to be found, especially so at 

 Trieste.
