100 TRANSACTIONS LIVERPOOL BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
CorTtipa.—F our species were captured. Cottus scorpius 
and C. bubalis (Bullheads) were taken in rock pools at 
low tide all round the Bay, from the breakwater to the 
north side. They may be taken either with a hand net or 
with a hook, using Littorina as bait. Young ones were 
also captured in the dredge; they are voracious feeders. 
Trigla gurnardus (Grey Gurnard) are very common. 
They can be taken within the Bay and outside from the 
Calf to two or three miles north of Fleshwick. They are 
voracious feeders, will bite readily at Arenicola, herring or 
mackerel bait. Trigla cuculus (Red Gurnard) are not so 
common as 7’. gurnardus, but fairly abundant; distribu- 
tion similar; some very large specimens were captured. 
SCOMBRIDA.—Scomber scomber (Mackerel) is occasionally 
taken in the Bay. It is plentiful outside from Bradda 
Head to the Calf. It is taken with artificial bait, india 
rubber tubing with a piece of skin of a fish. Five dozen 
were taken in one afternoon (Sept. 12th) by ‘‘ whiffing”’ 
with two lines from a yacht. 
GoBpipa.—Gobius niger (the Goby). Distribution as 
for the Cottws species. Callionymus lyra (Dragonet). 
Frequently taken in the dredge from Bradda Head to Bay 
Fine. 
DiscoBoLi.—Cyclopterus lumpus (Lump Sucker). <A 
single specimen was found adhering to the buoy. 
Two species of Lepadogaster (Suckers) were obtained : 
viz., L. gowanw and L. decandolu. These were obtained 
in rock pools at low tide and also in the dredge within 
the Bay. 
BLENNIIDA.—Blennius pholis (Shanny) is a littoral 
form; in rock pools between the Biological Station and 
Spaldrick Bay at low tide. Also, along with it, Centro- 
notus gunnellus (Butter fish), taken in rock pools through- 
out the Bay.
