male of a species belonging to the Chelifera. 
Molua molva, Lin. 
A number of Ling were examined, the food of which consisted chiefly 
of small fishes. It has been observed that the Ling, more than any other 
gadoid, is in the habit, when captured, of ejecting not only its food but 
also its stomach, turning it inside out just as one turns the finger of a glove, 
so that when visiting the market it is not uncommon to see Ling with 
their stomachs protruding from their mouths. 
Onus cimbrius, Lin. 
Twenty specimens of the Four-Bearded Rockling captured on the 
Bressay Shoal at a depth of 75 fathoms, on December 11th, 1901, were 
examined, and the contents of their stomachs recorded. As this species 
was not included amongst those in my previous paper on fish food, I give 
a more detailed account of the food observed in this sample from Bressay 
Shoal. Their sizes ranged from 6? to 11? inches, and their food, as 
shown in the appended tabular account, consisted chiefly of small 
Crustacea :—
