tail (tlie only distinction between them) though constant in 

 the smaller Specimens, is often wanting in the larger. The 

 quotation in Mr. Yarrell's work, p. 297, from my M.S., is 

 misapplied to this Fish, and belongs to the proper Goldsinny 

 C. Tinea, Yarrell, p. 293. 



GOLDSINNY. C. Tinea. Yarrell's Br. F., vol. 1, p. 293. 

 Connor. Common. There are sufficient marks of dis- 

 tinction between this Fish, and the Species described and 

 figured by Mr. Selby, in Sir Wm. Jardine's Magazine of 

 Zoology, vol. 1, p. 167, and pi. 6. to cause me to believe the 

 Goldsinny is not the Lutjanus Rupestris of Bloch, as that 

 Gentleman supposes. 



ROCK COOK. This Species, not described by Mr. Yar- 

 rell, was first found in Cornwall ; and named C. Micro- 

 stoma, in my M.S. a name adopted by Mr. Thompson who 

 has found it in Ireland. See Jardine's Mag. Zool., vol. 2, 

 PI. 14. It is less common than the Goldsinny, and is 

 chiefly taken in Crab Pots. 



SCALE-RAYED WRASS. C. Luscus. Yarrell's Br. F„ 

 vol. 1, p. 300. Rare. 



The two following are introduced on doubtful authority: 



TWO SPOTTED WRASS. Labrus Bimaculatus Lin. On 



the authority of Pennant, who however did not see the 



Specimen. 

 HOG WRASS. L. Suilhis Lin. On the authority of Osbeck, 



who may have confounded it with the Rock Cook ; if indeed 



they be different. 

 TRUMPETFISH. Centriscus Scolopax. Jenyns, p. 400. 



Yarrell's Br. F. } vol. 1, p. 302. One Cornish Specimen 



only is on record. 

 DACE. Cyprinus Leuciscus. Jenyns, p. 410. Yarrell's Br. 



F., vol. I, p. 353. I know of this fish from no other of our 



Rivers beside the Tamar. 

 MINNOW. C. Phoxinus. Jenyns, p. 415. Yarrell's Br. 



F, vol. 1, p. 372. Common in many of our Rivers, but not 



in all. 

 THE CARP. C. Carpio; and the Tench, C. Tinea, are not 



natives of Cornwall, but are kept in ponds. 

 LOACH. Cobitis Barbatula. Jenyns, p. 416. Yarrell's 



Br. F., vol. 1, p. 376. Common in some Rivers. 

 GARFISH. Belone Vulgaris. Jenyns, p. 418. Yarrell's 



Br. F., vol. 1, p. 391. Long nose, and Gorefish. Common 



at all seasons, but less abundant in Spring. It is voracious 



and of very quick digestion ; feeding on every variety of 



living being it is able to seize. 

 LITTLE GOREFISH. Trans, of Lin. Soc, vol.14,
