Holt — Survey of Fishing Grounds, West Coast of Ireland. 227 



LIST OF FISHES CAPTUEED DURING THE SURVEY, WITH SCIENTIFIC 

 AND VERNACULAR NAMES. 



The fish marked t M'ere taken for the first time in British waters. Those marked :|: 

 for the first time in Irish waters. Those marked § are confined to deep water. 

 The fish marked * is new to science. The Irish names indicated {^) are taken 

 from Hardiman's Edition of H-Iar Connaught : Dublin, 1846. The learned 

 commentator is careful to give the scientific names of each fish, hut omits to state 

 from what part of the coast he derived the Irish names. He was unable to identify 

 the "Hawke fish" of 0' Flaherty with any species known to science, but translates 

 it into Irish as Runnach Spaineach, which, I suppose, means Spanish Mackerel. 

 The latter term, according to Nimmo, is applied at Roundstone to the Gar -pike, 

 Belone vulgaris. A fisherman of Ballynakill rather puzzled us by identifying a 

 fifteen-spined Stickleback as a j^oung Spanish Mackerel ; but the diagnosis is 

 intelligible if he meant Belone.
