 fiuviatilis) are found in the Norfolk rivers. 



** The Burbot, or Eel Pout (Lo/a vulgaris), called by Merrett a Coney- 

 fish, from its habit of concealing itself in holes in the river banks. It is not 

 sufficiently numerous now to form an article of diet, and I imagine there 

 are fevi living who could bear testimony as to the esculent qualities of its 

 " Liuer." 



'' The coarse variety of the Eel, known as the " Glout," or Broad-nosed 

 Eel, is believed to be the barren female ; Browne's informants were doubt- 

 less misled by the presence of certain thread-worms (Nematoxys) in the 

 abdomen of the eels, which they mistook for young ones.
