Fam. LABRIDZ. 
Labrus maculatus 42. Ballan Wrasse. 
Resident, abundant, frequenting the rocky coast from Redcar 
to Flamborough. In 1769, Pennant recorded it as appear- 
ing during summer in great shoals off Filey Brigg—a 
statement which has been copied by many subsequent 
writers. Donovan, in 1808, added that the Scarborough 
fishermen call it ‘Old Wife.’ Other names are given to it 
on the coast, it being known to the Flamborough fishermen 
as ‘Old Ewe,’ and at Redcar as ‘Servellan wrasse’ or 
‘Sweet-lips.’ 
. Labrus mixtus Z. Striped Wrasse. Cook Wrasse. 
Mr. Cordeaux remembers seeing an example some years ago 
on the Yorkshire coast, he believes at Flamborough (MS.). 
Crenilabrus melops (Z.). Goldsinny. Corkwing. 
Mr. Cordeaux informs us that he thinks he has several times 
seen it in rock pools at Flamborough, though he never 
succeeded in capturing one. 
Ctenolabrus rupestris (Z.). Jago’s Goldsinny. 
Extremely rare ; has only occurred at Redcar, where but four 
specimens have been taken (Meynell, 1844). From one 
of these—sent by Mr. T. S. Rudd to Mr. Yarrell—the 
woodcut at p. 509 of the first volume of the 3rd Edition 
of the British Fishes was engraved.

Centrolabrus exoletus  (Z.). Small-mouthed
