84 REPORT OF COMMISSIONERS OF INLAND FISHERIES. 



II. Food. Few observations have been made of the character 

 of the food of this species. It seems to be a vegetarian, to a great 

 extent at least, if not exclusively, since Dr. Linton, in 1899, examined 

 eight specimens and found in their stomachs only vegetable debris, 

 which appeared to consist mostly of Fucus and eel-grass. 



III. Size. This is the smallest of American flat-fishes. It 

 seldom exceeds five or six inches in length.
