THE ZooLoGist—APRIL, 1876. 4887 
I examined the stomach and intestines, and found abundant remains of 
small crabs, more or less broken up, and portions of shells of a species of 
Pecten. Ihave made a skeleton of the ferocious-looking head. This fish is 
so far rare on this coast that our fishmongers did not know anything about 
it.—J. 8. Bowerbank ; 2, East Ascent, St. Leonards-on-Sea, March 8, 1876. 
Another Silvery Hairtail near Plymouth.— On the 28th of January 
I identified a second silvery hairtail (Trichiurus lepturus), which, I was 
informed, was caught in the St. Germans River. It was not quite so large 
as the specimen noticed by me in the last number of the ‘ Zoologist’ (S. 8. 
4806), measuring but two feet five inches in length and two inches in 
depth.— John Gatcombe.
