List of Species Found in the Stomachs of Long Rough Dabs — continuid. 



Whiff or Sail Fluke. Lepidorhomhus whif (Walb). 



The Sail Flukes examined were coliectcd, for the most part, from deep 

 water (85 fathoms) north of Shetland on May 17th, 1901. The number 

 of specimens was thirty-one, and they measured Hi to 20 centimetres in 

 length. The food observed in their stomachs consisted almost entirely of 

 Crustacea, but it was in most cases very fragmentary. The Euphausiida:' 

 were most in evidence as an article of food, but the genus or species could 

 not be satisfactorily determined ; these Schizopods occurred in the 

 stomachs of fully half the number of the fishes examined. EnjtJuvpti 

 serraftis Avas also frequently observed. Cramjon (?) alhnauni was found 

 in three stomachs and Nika cdidk in one; Avipelisca hrevicornis was 

 obtained in three, and the remains of Annelids in one, but these 

 organisms were comparatively few in number. 



In the stomach of a moderate-sized Sail Fluke captured off Aberdeen 

 on July 7 til, 1900, a Sepiola sp. (?) and the remains of Crangon sp. 

 were found.
