APPENDIX. | Fishes. 375 
Sorea Peeusa [Z'he Lemon-sole]. 
Rare. 
Monocuirvus LineuatuLus [ The Solenette] is of more frequent occur- 
rence. I have found it in the stomach of the cod and haddock. 
Leprpogaster Cornusiensis [The Cornish Sucker]. 
I remember finding a small fish, on one occasion, where our fisher- 
men clean their lines, and which resembled the above in almost 
every particular. It is the only specimen that has come under 
my notice. 
LeprpoGasTER BIMAcULaTUS [The Two-spotted Sucker]. 
Brought on shore, now and then, among the refuse entangled in 
the fishermen’s lines, and occasionally in old shells, such as Fusis 
antiquus, Buccinum undatum, and Cyprina Islandica, ete. 
Cyctorrerus Lumpus [ The Lump-sucker']. 
Frequent. Known here by the name of “‘ paddle cock.” Not used 
as an article of food. 
Lrparivs vuiearis [The Unctuous Sucker]. 
Of partial occurrence. 
Lrrpartus Montacui [Montagu’s Sucker]. 
I have only once met with this beautiful little fish here, and that 
but lately. It was brought on shore in an old shell. I should 
think it rare in the Firth. 
ANGUILLA acuTirostRis [The Sharp-nosed Hel] and 
ANGUILLA Latirosrris [The Broad-nosed Hel] are both found. The 
former is the most numerous, and brings the highest price. 
- Concer vunearis [The Conger or Great Hel]. 
This large species is often met with, but is not used as food. 
Ammopytes Tosranus [The Sand-eel] and 
AmmopytEes Lancea [The Sand lance]. 
The latter the most numerous. Both these are used by our fisher- 
men for bait. 
Synenatuus acus [Zhe Great Pipe-fish] and 
Synenatnus typaus [The Lesser Pipe-fish] are both met with, and are 
accounted by the fishermen to be superior to any other bait. 
Synenatuus LumBricrrormis [The Worm Pipe-fish] is met with, and 
is not so rare as one might expect. 
HippocaMPUS BREVIROSTRIS. 
This rare and peculiar horse-headed looking creature has been met 
with here. Two were found cast on shore at the sands of 
Boyndie, near Banff, after a severe sea storm.
