Of 151 stomachs of Soles examined, 115 contained no 

 food, 6 contained indistinguishable matter and one con- 

 tained a little sand only, leaving 29 which are accounted 

 for as follows : — 



Annelida were found in 18 stomachs, or fully 62 %. 



Crustacea were found in 10 stomachs, or fully 34 % and 

 consisted of Crangon, Cuma, Amphipoda, etc. 



Mollusca were found in one stomach only, or a little 

 over 3%, so that Annelida appear to be the chief source 

 of food for the sole, with Crustacea next in point of im- 

 portance.

The food of this fish seems to consist chiefly of Annelida 

 but further data are required before we can state it 

 definitely.
