THE VEKTEBRATE FAUNA Oi' YORKSHIRE. 183 



184. Leiiciscus erythrophthalvms (L.) ; Rudd. — Mr. Clifton E. 

 Garwood, of Acomb, near York (writing in ' The Field,' June 9th, 

 1883, p. 765) noted having seen the Azurine or Blue Roach (a 

 variety of the Rudd) in the River Ouse, amongst a shoal of Roach, 

 Bleak, and Dace. 



201. Salmofario, L. ; "var. g, Swaledale Trout" of Dr. Day. 

 — Under this name Dr. Day (Fishes of Great Britain and Ire- 

 land, ii. 100) describes and figures a variety which is com- 

 paratively rather broad, and in colour the most beautifully tinted 

 form he has seen. The specimens were sent to him by Mr. 

 George Brook, jun., by whom they were taken in the Oxnop Beck, 

 Upper Swaledale. 



223. EngrauUs encrasicholus (L.) ; Anchovy.— An addition to 

 the list, previously overlooked by us. Bridlington, two specimens 

 caught on the 17th October, 1866 (H. H. Knocker, Science 

 Gossip, November, 1866, p. 254). 



236. Nerophis cequoreus (L.) ; iEquoreal Pipe-fish.— Whitby, 

 one washed up in March, 1883, which had forty-four rays in the 

 dorsal fin, and measured ISj-in. in length (Stephenson, MS.). 



241. Balistes capriscus, Gm. ; File-fisli. — Dr. Da}^ at p. 269 

 of his work, cites, from The Zoologist for 1868, p. 1027, a 

 record of the occurrence of this species at Flaniborough. Of this 

 record we were fully cognisant at the time of writing the Hand- 

 book, the result of our enquiries being that — as Mr. Bailey assured 

 us — the specimen was an Opah or King-fish. 



243. Orthagoriscus viola (L.); Short Sun-fish.— Bridlington, 

 five in August, 1866, mostly of small size (H. H. Knocker, Science 

 Gossip, 1866, p. 254). Bridlington, one which weighed nearly 

 250 lbs. was shot on the 16th of August, 1882 (Bridlington Quay 

 Gazette, August 19th, 1882). 



244. Orthagoriscus trimcatus (Retz.) ; Oblong Sun-fish. — Ad- 

 ditional to the fauna. Mr. Stephenson has sent us an extract 

 from the 'Whitby Repository' for December, 1867, recording the 

 capture of an " Orthagoriscus oblongus, Oblong Sunfish," at 

 Whitby in the November of that year, which measured 5 ft. across 

 the fins and 5 ft. from head to tail. It was sold to Mr. Grier for 

 the Museum at Huddersfield. 



In conclusion we have to acknowledge our indebtedness to 

 numerous correspondents whose notes are acknowledged in the 

 text, and it is our duty to record our special obligation to Mr.
