SEA FISHBEIES LABOEATOEY. 



117 



We do not give a per-centage statement of the food 

 of this fish owing to the small number examined, but 

 Annelida, Crustacea, and Mollusca appear to have been 

 the chief food of the flounder during the year. 



From last year's Report it will be seen that the order 

 was then somewhat different, Mollusca being first, Anne- 

 lida second and Crustacea and Zoophytes third.
