New to Ire/and. 



* Trigla Cuculus, BĮ. Red Gurnard. Of thb fish two sraall spe- 

 cimens, taken at Youghal m the summer of 1835, have been sub- 

 mitted to my examination by Mr. Bali. In both, the second ray of 

 the first D. fia is the longest. 



Mvgtl Chelo, Cav. Thick-lipped Grey Mullet. The common 

 ■" mullet" of the north of Ireland is of this species, as are likevvise 

 the only two specimens that I have seen from tiie southern coast. 



Gobius gracilis, Jenyns. Slender Goby. From the coasts of 

 Down and Louth I have obtained tvvo specimens of this fish. The 

 difFerence in colour between them and Gob. mvnutus attracted me at 

 first sight ; but I did not examine further, until my attention wa5 

 directed to thera by Mr. Jenyns' description of Gob. gracilis, -vvith 

 which they in all respects ągree. 



* Crenilabrus rupestris, Selby. Jago's Goldsinny. In Septem- 

 ber, 18S5-, I procured two individuals of this species at Bangor, 

 Down, \vhere they were taken along with Cren. tinca and Crea. cor- 

 aubicus. 



Šalmo eriox, Ldnn. Bali Trout. The first specimens of ibis 

 trout which occurred to me were three, about 20 inches in length, 

 that were taken vvith SaL trutta^ in the sea at Donaghadee. 



* Gūdus caltariaSy Linn, Dorse. Amongst fishes kindly forvvarded 

 for my inspection by Mr. Bali are specimens of the Gad. callarias, 

 caught at Youghal in the autumn of 1834, On subsequently look- 

 ing over some captures from Lame, county Antrim, presented with- 

 out regard to species to the Belfast Museum, I also found one of 

 tliese fishes. 



* Gadus minuLus, linn. Poor. From three localities in Domi 

 and Antrim I have the Gad. minutus, and in the collection of Mr. 

 Bali have recently seen two specimens from the coast of Cork. 



* MoteUa glauca, Jenyns- Mackrel Midge. I include here, 

 though unable to see any specific diflference between it and Mot. 

 mustela. The only Irish specimens I have seen sufficiently minute 

 to be considered Mot. glauca. were brought by Mr. Boil from the 

 South IsJands of Arran. 



Pkycisfurcatus, Flem. Common Fork-beard. To C G. M. Skin- 

 ner, Esq., of Glynn-park, I am indebted for a very fine malė speci- 

 men of this fish, 25 inches in length, which was caught near Car- 



friend, who caught lt in tlie wateTS of Dageiiham Breach, in Essex, from 

 "which place others have since been taken. This bream is at once distin- 

 guished from both the other species of Bi^itish bream.., by tiie much greater 

 thickiiess of its bedy.
