THE FISHES OF THE IRISH SEA, 43 
BLENNIUS GATTORUGINE, Bloch.—Gattorugine. 
(Day’s British Fishes, vol. I., p. 198, Pl. LIX.) 
This fish was first found off Anglesey by Pennant; also Holyhead (Eyton) ; but we 
have no certain records of its capture since. 
BLENNIUS GALERITA, Linn.—Montagu’s Blenny. 
(Day’s British Fishes, vol. I., p. 200, Pl. LX., Fig. 1). 
Once captured in the creek dividing Holyhead Island from Anglesey (Eyton). 
BLENNIUS OCELLARIS, Linn,—Butterfly Blenny. 
(Day’s British Fishes, vol. I., p. 201, Pl. LIX., Fig. 2.) 
(Fish. Mus., Zool. Dep., Univ. Coll., Liverpool.) 
This species ranges from the British Isles to the Mediterranean. - It has only been 
found at a few places in our seas, but ‘“‘is recorded as having been dredged up on a 
scallop bank, in twenty fathoms of water, off Ballaugh, in the Isle of Man, in June, 1834” 
(Forbes). A single specimen was trawled from our Lancashire Fisheries steamer ‘ John 
Fell,” 15 miles W. by N. of Morecambe Bay Lightship, on May 29th, 1894, and was sent 
by Captain Wignall to our Fisheries Laboratory, at Liverpool, where it was identified by 
Mr. A. Scott. 
BLENNIUS PHOLIS, Linn.—Shanny. 
(Day’s British Fishes, vol. I., p. 203, Pl. LX.) 
(Fish. Mus., Zool. Dep., Univ. Coll., Liverpool.) © Zoca/ name, ‘* Shanny.” 
This common species ranges from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean. It is found 
almost everywhere in pools between tide-marks round the British coast. It is one of the 
commonest of shore fishes in our neighbourhood, both on the Lancashire side, and at Port 
Erin and elsewhere in the Isle of Man, and in rock pools in North Wales and Anglesey ; 
also in the Barrow Channel. 
It is interesting to “notice that Pennant found it to be common in Anglesey, and 
that Donovan ‘‘ observed that in the 30 years that had elapsed since Pennant’s remarks 
were published, he found it had disappeared (except in one spot), and this he attributed to 
the tangle having been almost eradicated for the use of glass-makers, &c.” 
CARELOPHUS AscANII (Walb.)—Yarrell’s Blenny. 
(Day’s British Fishes, vol. I., p. 206, Pl. LX., Fig. 2.) 
(Fish. Mus., Zool. Dep., Univ. Coll., Liverpool.) 
This fish ranges from Scandinavia to the British Isles. Although rare, it has been 
recorded from many points round our coasts, several of which are off the east coast of 
Ireland. 
PHOLIS GUNNELLUS (Linn.)—Butterfish. 
(See Centronotus gunnellus, Day’s British Fishes, vol. I., p. 208, Pl. LXL, Fig. 1.)
