170 CHESIL BEACH FISH. 



In conclusion I may mention that a green turtle (Cltebmia 

 viridis) was found floating in the West Bay near the Chesil Beach 

 by some fishermen. It was dead, and appeared to have been so 

 for some little time. Most probably it was conveyed by a ship 

 into British waters, but died before reaching land, and was thrown 

 overboard. 



I venture to express a hope that the few notes on fish which I 

 have read may encourage some of our members who live by the sea 

 to take up by the subject in earnest. I feel sure that it will repay 

 their careful attention.
