  THE 
  ZOOLOGIST. 
  

  

  early 
  in 
  November. 
  It 
  was 
  the 
  size 
  of 
  a 
  business 
  envelope, 
  was 
  

   coloured 
  alike 
  on 
  both 
  sides, 
  and 
  the 
  "travelling-eye" 
  had 
  

   remained 
  in 
  a 
  notch 
  on 
  the 
  " 
  edge" 
  of 
  the 
  fish, 
  which 
  gave 
  it 
  

   the 
  doubtful 
  convenience 
  of 
  being 
  able 
  to 
  see 
  on 
  either 
  side, 
  if 
  

   swimming 
  vertically. 
  

  

  On 
  Nov. 
  19th 
  a 
  Fifteen-spined 
  Stickleback 
  (Gasterosteus 
  

   spinachia) 
  was 
  taken 
  in 
  a 
  Smelt-net 
  up 
  the 
  Kiver 
  Bure, 
  some 
  five 
  

   miles 
  from 
  the 
  sea. 
  It 
  is 
  rather 
  unusual 
  to 
  meet 
  with 
  it 
  here 
  at 
  

   this 
  season 
  of 
  the 
  year. 
  

  

  A 
  ten-pound 
  " 
  Bull-dog 
  " 
  Codfish 
  was 
  shown 
  me 
  on 
  Nov. 
  

   23rd. 
  The 
  " 
  snout 
  " 
  only 
  protruded 
  about 
  an 
  inch 
  beyond 
  the 
  

   eyes, 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  being 
  rounded 
  off 
  like 
  a 
  massive 
  

   forehead, 
  giving 
  the 
  ugly 
  creature 
  a 
  remarkably 
  brainy 
  appear- 
  

   ance. 
  

  

  Other 
  than 
  fishes, 
  my 
  most 
  interesting 
  marine 
  " 
  entries 
  " 
  

   refer 
  to 
  the 
  Marbled 
  Swimming 
  Crab 
  (Portunus 
  marmoreus), 
  

   obtained 
  on 
  March 
  15th 
  ; 
  a 
  female 
  Masked 
  Crab 
  (Corystes 
  

   cassivelaunus), 
  on 
  March 
  17th 
  ; 
  a 
  Smooth 
  Hermit 
  Crab 
  (Paguras 
  

   Icevis), 
  on 
  March 
  28th, 
  living 
  in 
  a 
  Murex 
  erinaceus 
  shell 
  ; 
  and 
  

   two 
  of 
  the 
  shell-less 
  Mollusca, 
  viz. 
  Scalaria 
  communis, 
  on 
  July 
  

   4th 
  ; 
  and 
  Aplysia 
  punctata, 
  on 
  Oct. 
  11th, 
  the 
  latter, 
  however, 
  

   being 
  sent 
  me 
  from 
  the 
  neighbourhood 
  of 
  Cromer.
