7. The Lump-Fi/Jy, Sca-0ivl, or Cockpaddle (g), is frequent on 

 the coaft, efpecially at Crejjkvell and Holy -I/land. It is a well tafled 

 fifli, but of a clumfey figure.- The head and mouth are mode- 

 rately large ; the eyes fmall, and covered with a cuticle ; the 

 jaws and fauces armed with a great number of fmall fharp teeth. 

 The back is elevated, the belly flat. It hath a triple feries of re- 

 flex, fharp, prickles on the fides, and as many on the back. It 

 is of a beautiful colour, variegated with black, a pale red and 

 whitifh. The ventral fins are connected at the ends, and are of 

 a funnel-like fhape ; by the help of which it holds itfelf faft in 

 florais to the bottom of the fea, and to rocks. There is an ana- 

 tomy of it by Dr. Tyfon in Willughby^ Ichthyology. 



8. We have alfo the Pogge (h), a fingular fhaped little fifli, 

 about fix inches long ; of an octangular figure to the hinder end 

 of the back-fin, and from thence to the tail hexangular. The 

 whole body is covered with bone-like fcales, which being raifed 

 or elevated in the middle through the whole length, give it thofe 

 peculiar angulated figures.
