 Mr. de Caxjx, fish salesman. Great Yarmouth, was kind 

 enough, in August, 1880, to send me a magnificent 





MONK-FISH, OB ANGEL PISH. 



specimen of a monk-fish, trawled up by a fishing smack 

 in the North Sea. The fishermen wanted it for an 

 exhibition, but Mr. de Caux was good enough to send 

 it up without having the intestines removed. This fish 

 measured five feet from nose to end of tail, his width 

 at the widest part three feet, and its weight between 

 fifty and sixty pounds. This is the largest specimen I 

 have ever seen.
