NOTE— FISH. 



Lamprey at Flamborough. — On the 3rd of May Mr. Matthew Bailey sent 

 nie a t;ooil-si/eil exaniplo of the Lamprey (/V//-r'wrc^// tiiariinis) wliich had been 

 taken by IJielhy Wooilhousc, lisherman, of Flamhorough that same mornintj. 

 He was out loni:;-line tishing about six or seven miles south-cast of the Headland, 

 and had taken several Cod. ^Vhen taking hold of a very large Codfish he saw this 

 strange fish in the Coil's mouth. It appears that the fish was quite strange and 

 unknown to the fishermen of Flamborough, in whose experience (and Mr. I'ailey's) 

 it hail never occurred before. Mr. Edgar R. Waite. F. I... S., of the Museum here, 

 and I, made out the fish to be a Lamprey, with Varrell's description of which- 

 it agreed in every respect. — W. Demson Rokiu'ck, Sunny l^ank, Leeds,

NOTE—BOTAN\ '. 



Geranium phaeum in Littondale, Mid-West Yorkshire. — On ALay 20th 

 I had the good f utuno to find a tine plant of this rare tlower in bloom. It is a 

 very healthy plant, growing near to the stream at an elevation of about 650 ft. 

 above the seadevel. As there is only one plant, for obvious reasons I refrain from 

 giving the locality more definitely. But I shall be glad to show the blossoms, 

 which I have pressctl for my herbarium, to any botanist who may be travelling 

 tills way. It is interesting to find the plant in this dale, as Mr. Arnold Lees has 

 no Wharfedale station for it in his 'Flora of West Yorkshire' and mentions 

 350 ft. as its highest range. It was f(-)und many years ago at 1-eizor near Clapham. 

 which is about 15 miles from ArnclilVe — W. A. SnrFFKF.V, M.ay 21st, 1S90.
