dragonet Callionymus macidatus. The fish has already 

 been recorded from the Irish Sea, but the eggs have not 

 been met with in the district. So far we have only found 

 them on two occasions — at Red Wharf Bay on July 5th, 

 and at Port Erin on the 8th. They can only be dis- 

 tinguished from the eggs of the common dragonet by 

 measuring the size of the hexagonal markings. The 

 hexagons are much smaller in the egg of C. macidatus 

 than in C. lyra. 



(22) Young Fishes. A large number of post larval 

 pleuronectids were found amongst the plankton collected 

 in March and April extending from Cardigan Bay to 

 Liverpool Bar Lightship, and also in the neighbourhood 

 of Port Erin. One young sole, 7*5 mm. long, was taken 

 in Tremadoc Bay on June 21st, post larval brill near 

 Puffin Island on June 28th and off Blackpool on July 4th, 

 post larval Zeugo-pterus in Eamsey Bay on July 11th. 

 Post larval stages of gadoids, Belone, rockling, weevers 

 and Liparis also occurred occasionally in various parts of 

 the district.
