9. On the Occurrence of Lumpenus lampetriformis off the 

 East Coast of Scotland. By Fkancis Day. 



[Received June 16, 1884.] 

 (Plate XLI.) 



On May 31st this year I received information from Professor 

 Mcintosh, of St. Andrews, that a fish new to the British fish-fauna 

 had been captured 15 miles off St. Abbs Head in 40 fathoms water by 

 means of a trawl ; and a few days subsequently he was good enough 

 to send me the specimen, with permission to figure and describe it. 



The fish is in excellent condition, 10"7 inches in length, and 

 belongs to the Blenniidse. Different generic names have been given 

 to the genus to which it pertains, as Stichceus and Ctenodon ; but 

 Gill (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad. 1 864) showed that Lumpenus 

 has the priority ; and Collett (Norwegian North-Atlantic Expedition,
