Of the 46 stomachs examined 6 only were empty, the 

 remaining 40 being accounted for in the following notes : — 



Crustacea were found in 36 stomachs, or 90 % and 

 consisted of Crangon, Pandalus, Mysis, C iima, Amphipoda, 

 Idotea, Portumis and Carcinus. 



Fish were found in 5 stomachs, or fully 12 %. 



Annelida were found in 4 stomachs, or fully 10 %. 



Mollusca were found in one only. 



On comparing the above result with that given in last 

 year's report it will be found to be almost the same. 



In the Firth of Forth district, the food of the cod appears 

 to be very similar to that recorded for the Lancashire 

 Sea-Fisheries District.
