Fam. GOBlIDiE. 

 Callionymus dracunculus, Linn. Sordid Deagonet. 



Numbers of these were caught on the fishermen's lines in 

 October last, a short distance from the shore, and not one of the 

 Gemmeous Dragonet. The opinion seems to be well-grounded 

 that this is only the female of the Gemmeous Dragonet. 



Fam. BLENNID^. 



Blennius galerita, Linn. Montague's Blenny. 



In June, 1893, I saw a small specimen of this fish in spirits

Oedek. ANACANTHmi. 



Fam. GADID^. 



Motella vulgaris (Willughby). Three-beaeded Rockling. 



This fish is probably not rare on our coast, living on the outer 

 margin of the Laminarian Zone. Fine specimens have been 

 sent to the Museum from the Northumberland Coast by Mr. 

 Phillips and by Mr. T. H. Nelson from the Redcar fishermen. 

 A very finely marked example was caught a short distance from 

 the coast near St. Mary's Island, October, 1893. 



Raniceps trifurcatus (Turton). Lessee Foekbeaed. 



Often caught on the inshore fishing lines. It lives in the 

 outer Laminarian Zone in a few fathoms water and is sometimes 

 washed ashore after storms. Specimens presented by Mr. Birchall 

 and Mr. F. H. Phillips. 



Fam. PLEURONECTID.E. 



Phrynorhombus punctatus (Bloch). Bloch's Top-knot. 



A fine specimen 9^ inches in length, caught on line by the 

 Cullercoats fishermen, when fishing not far out, was sent to the 

 Museum by Mr. Phillips. This fish probably lives much nearer 

 the shore than was expected, as it is generally caught on the
