These Whiting, mostly from 4 to 8 inches in length, like 

 the Cod, in this district live- largely upon the commoner 

 Crustacea, e.g., Grangon vulgaris and My sis and Amphi- 

 poda, and in a good many cases remains of fish, chiefly 

 the Sprat, and some worms, have been found in the 

 stomach. All these food matters being common and 

 widely distributed, locality apparently makes no noticeable 

 difference in the diet.

The diet of the Haddock seems very varied, but no 

 conclusions can be drawn from such a small number.
