A HARD-WORKING DIET. 83 
Many other sea fish are referred to, as Sand Eels, 
Fundolis ; Blennies, Greenbans ; Gurnards, Crunans ; 
Lump fish, Padils; Angler, Murlycon; Sea Cat, 
Cattus marinus. The Spirling, Conger Eel, and 
Lamprey, also have a place, while A7’fische, a term of 
frequent occurrence, is of doubtful import. 
At the head of freshwater fish is the Salmon, used 
fresh, salted, kippered.* Trout, Eels, Perch, and Pike, 
are also constantly used. Pike being purchased in 
1525 (see Yarrell) is in opposition to the received idea 
that this fish was imported in the reign of Henry VIII. 
in 1537. It is more probable it had become so scarce 
it was re-introduced. 
Among the molluscous, Polwpi, or Cuttle-fish, fre- 
quently occupies a place; also Oysters, Mussels, 
Cockles, Concis ;  Razor-fish, Spouttis ; Scallops, 
Pectines ; and the Horse-mussel, Pectines aque dulcis. 
The Bucky and Limpet conclude the list. Of the 
crustaceous animals the supply appears to have been 
only of common Crab and Shrimps. 
Dr. Parnell, as referred to by Mr. Yarrell, informs 
us of an example of Lampris opale washed ashore 
near North Queensferry, July, 1835. It was found by 
those who eat it to have flesh red and good as that of 
a Salmon. 
The Doree is generally considered a great luxury 
for the table, and the derivation of its name, from 
adorée, with the fact that the appellation applied to it 
by Ovid is Rarus, are often referred to in illustration 
of the unanimity of this opinion. 
Mr. Couch says of the Surmullet that it is now, as 
* This is one of the earliest notices of kippered salmon.
