 Land, the Schulls are dispersed, and the general season of 

 Sean Fishing ends.

 vol. 1, p. 134. Not often taken. 



BONITO. S. Pelamys. Jenyns, p. 363. Yarrell's Br. F.,

BELTED BONITO. Pelamys Sarda. Cuv. and Val. Pois- 

 sons, vol. 8. I have never seen this Fish caught ; but it 

 has been described to me in a manner that leaves no doubt 

 of its occasional occurrence on our Coasts. 



SWORDFISH. Xiphias Gladius. Jenyns, p. 364. Cuv. 

 and Val. Pois., vol. 8. Not often seen. 



PILOTFISH. Centronotus Ductor. Jenyns, p. 365. Yar- 

 rell's Br. F., vol. 1, p. 149. Rare. 



SCAD. Caranx Trachurus. Jenyns, p. 366. Yarrell's Br. 

 F., vol. 1, p. 154. Common in Summer and Autumn ; but 

 in Spring it keeps in tbe deeper water. 



DORY. Zeus Faher. Jenyns, p. 367. Yarrell's Br. F., 

 vol. 1, p. 162. Common. 



BOARFISH. Z. Aper. Jenyns, p. 368. Yarrell's Br. F., 

 vol. 1, p. 169. Only one Specimen has been taken in Corn- 

 wall, which was observed by Dr. Boase. 



OPAH. Lampris Luna. Jenyns, p. 369. Yarrell's Br. F. 

 vol. 1, p. 173. I have been informed of one Specimen taken 

 in Cornwall. 



SCABBARD FISH. Lepidopus Argyreus. Jenyns, p. 371. 

 Yarrell's Br. F., vol. 1, p. 176. I have been informed of 

 one Specimen only, which was caught by a boat from

BLACK FISH. Coryphama Fompilus Lin. Yarrell's Br. 

 F., vol. 1, p. 158. Borlase's Nat. Hist, of Cornwall, pi. 

 26. Rare. 



CEIL CONIN. Gymnetrus Hawkenii. Yarrell's Br. F., 

 vol. 1, p. 188. Much uncertainty exists concerning this 

 fish, of which one Specimen was taken on shore at Newlyn 

 in 1791 ; and it is not easy to reconcile the account of it by 

 Blocb, with the researches of M. Valenciennes, Poissons, 

 vol. 10. In the original drawing from which Mr. Yarrell's 

 figure is taken it is called " Ceil Conin, or King of the Her- 

 rings;" which seems also to imply tbe confusion of two se- 

 parate Species in the mind of him who wrote it. 



PvEDBAND FISH. Cepola Rubescens. Jenyns, p. 374. 

 Yarrell's Br. F., vol. 1, p. 195, where however, the tail 

 is not represented as sufficiently distinct. Red Snake Fish.
