Zoological Society. 507 
P. 137.—2. A beautiful drawing of a Launce, by “W. W. Ellis, 
ad viv. delin. et pinxt. 1779.” 
P. 138.—3. A letter from L. Morris, accompanied by a pen 
sketch of the ‘ Morris’ Leptocephalus, copied from a blank page in 
Lewis Morris’s Ray Synopsis, by Mr. Lloyd, at Aberystwith, 1786. 
This note is copied into the edition of ‘ Pennant’s Zoology’ for 1812, 
p- 215, where the editor observes : “‘ The above memorandum is pre- 
served in the copy of the British Zoology in the valuable library of 
the President of the Royal Society in Soho Square.’ The editor 
does not notice any of the other papers in the Banksian copy of 
Pennant. 
P. 178.—4. A note about the name of the Torse. 
P. 187.—5. Sir William Musgrave’s note accompanying a Spotted 
Goby and a young Angel Fish. 
P. 213.—6. Hugh Davies’ reply to Donovan respecting the tri- 
furcated Hake, from the North Wales Gazette, March 1810. 
P. 213.—7. Moses Griffith in reply to Donovan, from the Cam- 
brian, Dec. 30, 1809. 
P. 372.—8. The description of three fish, accompanied by very 
good figures in India ink, probably by Colonel Montague (? ?). 
Viz. 1. Leptocephalus Morrissii.—I may observe, that on the con- 
tinent they apply this name to a species which is munch longer and 
more slender than the one figured by Pennant and Yarrell, and Costa 
has given the name of L. candidissimus to the shorter British spe- 
cies ; we have both species from Costa in the British Museum. 
2. Cepola rubescens. 
3. The Variegated Sole, Solea lingula. In the MSS. it is stated, 
“This fish is sometimes taken in Torbay in the trawling-nets. It 
differs at first sight from the common sole in the edges of the scales 
being strongly ciliated, and in wanting the numerous small beards 
that hang from the lower side of the head of the common sort.” 
This appears to be the Red-back described from E. Hanmer’s MSS. in 
the 1812 edition of Pennant, but there is no reference to this figure. 
9. The letter from J. F. respecting the fish from Filey Bay, 
R. Banksii of Valenciennes. 
10. The drawing of Regalecus Glesne from Newlyn Quay. 
I may also mention, that in this copy of Pennant the plate 93, 
called Ophidium imberbe, Brit. Zool. App. i., is marked in pencil, 
apparently by Dr. Solander, as being “ Murena Anguilla.” This 
probably explaims why the figure is replaced in the edition of 1812 
by Montague’s figure from the Wernerian Transactions, as mentioned 
by Yarrell, Brit. Fishes, 412 & 414, where these two figures are 
copied. 
‘Since this paper was read, there has appeared in the ‘ Annals of 
Natural History’ a full description of Mr. Whitehead’s specimen, and 
an account of some other specimens found on other parts of the En- 
glish coast.
