86 LAMPRIS LUNA. 



capture of' a specimen of Lampris luna at Noordwijk in the 

 end of the 18th century. 



The third specimen is that above referred to, captured at 

 Noordwijk in 1840, stuffed and making part of the Leyden 

 Museum. 



The fourth is a fish captured on our coast on Dec. 1844, the 

 skeleton of which is preserved in our osteological collection. 



Our new specimen from Scheveniugen is a female, long 

 103 cm., high 65 cm. and weighing 54'/ 2 K.G. 



On examining the contents of the intestines a shrimp was 

 found in the oesophagus, and the stomach was filled up with 

 cuttlefish-jaws. 



As the fish was in a very good condition we tried the flesh 

 and found it excellent, much resembling that of salmon. 



The skeleton of this specimen will be placed in the osteolo- 

 gical collection of the Leyden Museum.
