A HISTORY OF SUFFOLK 



55. Dab. PUurenectes limanday Linn. 

 Plentiful. 



56. Flounder. Pleuronectes feius, Linn. 

 Common in the estuaries at Lowestoft, Har- 

 wich, etc. and in the sea in the spring when it is 

 spawning. 



57. Sole. Solea vulgaris, Quensel. 



Fairly plentiful on the trawling grounds. The 

 young I J in. to 3 in. long are taken in consider- 

 able numbers by shrimpers on the Newcome 

 Sand opposite Lowestoft, together with others 

 from 6 in. to 10 in. in length. Those taken by 

 the large trawlers are from 8 in. to 1 8 in. in 

 length. 



58. Solenette. Solea lutea, Risso. 

 Common on the Brown Ridges. 



PLECTOGNATHI 



59. Sun-fish. Orthagorlscus mola, Linn. 



Three specimens are on record as taken at 

 Yarmouth, one in Sir Thomas Browne's list 

 written in 1662, one in 1835, and one in 1843.' 



PERCESOCES 



60. Thin-lipped Grey Mullet. Mugil capita, 



Cuv. 

 At the mouth of the Orwell (Gurney). 



6 1 . Atherine. Atherina presbyter, Jenyns. 

 At Lowestoft according to Gurney. 



62. Larger Launce or Sand-eel. Ammodytes lan- 



ceolatus, Lesueur. 



Dr. Lowe reverses the English names of these 

 species, calling lanceolatus the lesser, tobianus the 

 larger launce. He states that lanceolatus occurs in 

 the Norfolk Estuary, but it probably occurs also 

 on the Suffolk coast. 



63. Lesser Launce, or Sand-eel. Ammodytes to- 



bianus, Lesueur. 



Common at Yarmouth and Lowestoft. 



64. Gar-fish. Belone vulgaris, Fleming. 



Taken regularly in small numbers by the mac- 

 kerel nets off Lowestoft in October. Dr. Lowe 

 gives some interesting notes on the occurrence of 

 the Hemirhamphus europaeus of Yarrell, which is 

 in all probability the young of this species. He 

 observed them in the Ouse below Lynn in July 

 1868. 



65. Saury Pike, or Skipper. Scombresox saurus, 

 Bl. Schn. 

 Occurs at Yarmouth according to Gurney.
