42 FISHES AND FISHERIES OF THE IRISH SEA. 
shrimp trawl (A. Scott.) ~ ‘‘ Very often taken in shrimp nets and in pools at low tide” 
(Byerley.) We have also taken it in Morecambe Bay in the shrimp trawl, and in the Menai 
Straits. It is also occasionally found under stones and amongst Laminaria in Port Erin Bay. 
We find that it feeds on the shank (Pandalus annulicornis). 
Liparis MoNTAGUI (Don.)—Montagu’s Sucker. 
(Day’s British Fishes, vol. I., p. 186, Pl. LVI., Fig. 2.) 
(Fish. Mus., Zool. Dep., Univ. Coll., Liverpool.) 
Montagu's or the diminutive Sucker is commoner on our southern coasts than Ziparis 
vulgaris. It is not uncommon on our shrimping grounds. We have taken it in the shrimp 
trawl off Formby, in the Rock Channel, Liverpool, and in other places in our estuaries. 
It has also been recorded from Holyhead (Eyton), the Dee estuary (Walker), and A. Scott 
has taken it in the shrimp trawl between the Dingle and Garston on the Mersey, along with 
the last species, in December, 1894.

LEPADOGASTER BIMACULATUS (Don.)—Double-spotted Sucker. 
(Day’s British Fishes, vol. I., p. 192, Pl. LVII., Fig. 3.) 
(Fish. Mus., Zool. Dep., Univ. Coll., Liverpool.) 
This species ranges from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean. It has been recorded in 
Belfast Lough, Strangford Lough, and elsewhere on the shores of the Irish Sea; it is 
common in Port Erin Bay, and must occur in other parts of the district. 
LEPADOGASTER GOUANI (Lacép.)—Cornish Sucker. 
(Day’s British Fishes, vol. I., p. 189, Pl. LVII., Fig. 1.) 
(Fish. Mus., Zool. Dep., Univ., Coll., Liverpool.) 
This little species is common in Port Erin Bay and must also occur elsewhere in 
the district. - 
LEPADOGASTER DECANDOLII, Risso--Connemara Sucker. 
(Day’s British Fishes, vol. I., p. 191, Pl. LVII., Fig. 2.) 
This rarer species is occasionally taken in Port Erin Bay. 
Family BLennip&. 
ANARRHICHAS LUPUS, Linn.—Wolf-fish. 
(Day’s British Fishes, vol. I., p. 195, Pl. LVIII.) 
This is a northern form, and is commoner in the North Sea and along the East 
coast than with us, and is not uncommon in the Clyde district. It has, however, been 
recorded from Belfast, Dublin Bay, and other points round the shores of the Irish Sea. It is 
recorded in the Liverpool Free Public Museum from ‘‘ the Rock Buoy, Irish Sea, 4/2/78” ; 
and we have a specimen in the University College Museum, which is possibly local. 
Prof, White tells us that he finds young specimens in the Menai Straits,
