124. Labrus maculatus Bl Ballan Wrasse. 



Resident, abundant, frequenting the rocky coast from Redcar 

 to Flamborough. In 1769, Pennant recorded it as appear- 

 ing during summer in great shoals off Filey Brigg — a 

 statement which has been copied by many subsequent 

 writers. Donovan, in 1808, added that the Scarborough 

 fishermen call it * Old Wife.' Other names are given to it 

 on the coast, it being known to the Flamborough fishermen 

 as ' Old Ewe,' and at Redcar as ' Servellan wrasse ' or 

 * Sweet-lips.'
