1 Mr. Green tells me that Plaice are usually described on the W. and N.W. coast 

 as Fluke, or Fluke with red spots ; so that the term appears to have a generic meaning, 

 as in Scotland. 



2 These names appear to apply to all Pipe-fish. 



' This name seems more suited to the Tope. 



* Apparently a generic name, also applied to " Maiden Rays."
