108 FISHES: 
The species was originally described by Willughby and Ray 
from a specimen which had been left dead by the receding 
tide in Middlesburgh Marsh, at the mouth of the Tees, 
September 18th, 1681. 
One was found in 1821 at Stockton-on-Tees (Yarrell and Day, 
Jide Hogg). 
Its appearance at Redcar—according to the observations of 
Messrs. T. S. Rudd and D. Ferguson, made from 1844 to 
1852—is irregular, some years having been remarkable for 
their total absence, and others for their abundance; as 
many as twelve have been recorded as having occurred in 
one single morning.

1850, one on the 5th of November of the same year, and 
another on September 4th, 1851 (Boynton, MS.).
