5o. Pole Dab. Pteuronectes cygnogh 

 **5l. Flounder. Pleuronectes Jlesus, Linn. 



52. Sole. Solea vulgaris, Quens. 



53. Variegated Sole or Thick Back. Solea 



variegata, Donovan. 



PLECTOGNATHI 



54. File-Fish. Balistes caprlscus, Linn. 



A specimen was taken off Brighton in 

 1901 {Zoologist, 1901, p. 225). 



55. Short Sun-Fish. Orthagoriscus mola, 



Linn. 

 One or two specimens are generally brought 

 in during the year by the fishing boats, but it 

 is by no means certain that they are caught 

 off the Sussex coast. 



PERCESOCES 



56. Atherine. Jtherina presbyter, ]e.n. 

 This species is very numerous on the Sussex 



coast, where it is called sand smelt or smelt. 

 **57. Thin-lipped Grey Mullet. Mugil 



capita, Cuv. 

 **58. Thick-lipped Grey Mullet. Mugil 



chelo, Cuv. 



Both species are numerous on the Sussex 



coast. They visit the mouths of the rivers, 



and ascend a considerable distance up into 



the fresh water during the summer months. 



FISHES 



Linn. 



59. Larger Launce. 

 Lesauv. 



Ammodytes lanceolatus. 



60. Lesser Launce. Ammodytes tobianus, Linn. 

 The two preceding species are known to 



the fisher people as large and small sand eels. 



61. Gar Fish. Belone vulgaris, Fleming. 



62. Saury Pike. Scombresox saurus, Linn. 



HEMIBRANCHII 



**63. Three-spined Stickleback. Gastrosteus 



aculeatus, Linn. 

 *64. Ten-spined Stickleback. Gastrosteus 



pungitius, Linn. 



65. Fifteen-spined Stickleback. Gastrosteus 



spinachia, Linn. 



LOPHOBRANCHII 



66. Greater Pipe Fish. Syngnathus acus, Linn. 



67. Lesser Pipe Fish, or Broad-nosed Pipe 



Fish. Siphonostoma typhle, Linn. 



68. Snake Pipe Fish. Nerophis ophidion, Linn. 



HAPLOMI 

 *69. Pike. Esox lucius, Linn. 



OSTARIOPHYSI 



*70. Carp. Cyprinus carpio, Linn. 

 *7i. Crucian Carp. Cyprinus carassius,\Ann. 

 Gold fish and Prussian carp have become 

 domesticated in ponds in many parts of the 

 county. I have seen several ponds where 

 they have increased in numbers in a most 

 marvellous manner. The gold fish variety 

 grows to a considerable size in a wild state 

 in some of these ponds. I have seen one 

 caught which weighed nearly a pound and 

 a half. 



*72. Gudgeon. Gobio fluviatilis, Linn. 



*73. Roach. Leuciscus rutilus, Linn. 



*74. Rudd. Leuciscus erythrophthalmus, Linn. 



This species does not seem to be indigenous 

 to the county, as there is a history of artificial 

 introduction in most cases where it occurs, 

 and is exceedingly localized in its distribution. 

 *75. Chub. Leuciscus cephalus, Linn. 

 *76. Dace. Leuciscus dobula, Linn. 



See introduction. 

 *77. Minnow. Leuciscus phoxinus, hmn.

MALACOPTERYGII 



**8l. Salmon. Salmo salar, L,\nn. 

 **82. Sea Trout. Salmo trutta, Linn. 

 *83. Trout. Salmo fario, Linn. 



[The rainbow trout [Salmo iridcus) from 

 the Pacific coast of America has been intro- 

 duced into many of the waters in Sussex, and 

 seems likely to become acclimatized.] 



**84. Freshwater Herring. Coregonus oxy- 

 rhynchus, Linn. 

 Day records one taken near Chichester. 



85. Herring. Clupea harengus, Linn. 



The herrings of Sussex, like the mackerel, 

 are much smaller than those of the North 

 Sea and Atlantic. 



86. Sprat. Clupea sprattus, Linn. 



87. Pilchard. Clupea pilchardus, Liim. 

 **88. Allis Shad. Clupea alosa, Linn.
