SOME FISH-NOTES FROM GREAT YARMOUTH 

 FOR 1910. 



By Arthur H. Patterson. 



The year 1910 provided me with no extraordinary iehthyo- 

 logical novelties, the only two items of more than ordinary 

 interest being the discovery of a species of Bonito, which, 

 so far as I can ascertain, has not before been recorded for 

 the East Coast ; certainly it is quite new to my own locality. 

 The occurrence of the Velvet Crab is also worthy of note, as 

 having made its appearance in local waters, and for the first 

 time has found its name on the Norfolk list of species. These 

 will be noted in chronological order. 



On January 13th Mr. F. C. Cook, of Lowestoft, brought me 

 two examples of Jago's Goldsinny (Ctenolabrus rupestris), which 

 he had obtained on the previous day from one of the shrimp-

trawlers fishing just outside that port. This fish, since my dis- 

 covery of it off Yarmouth in June, 1906, has not infrequently 

 been taken in shrimp-nets. I am inclined to regard it, at 

 present, as one of the most numerous of the Labridce visiting 

 Norfolk waters. A third specimen from a shrimp-net on 

 August 9th.
