Case IV. 
The various members of the Cod family, Gavipa, 
are continued in this case. There are the Coat- 
FISH, Happock, Haxkr, WHITING, etc., which are 
succeeded by the PLevRonectip#, comprising the 
peeren, HALIBUT, [URBOT, etc. ; : also a specimen of 
MULLER’S TOPKNOT, taken at Yarmouth i in 1890, and 
the Lonc RoucH Das, from the same place, both 
rare fishes on our coast. A fine FLOUNDER, taken 
in the fresh water at Sandling’s Ferry, will also be 
noticed. 
Cases V. and V'. 
One of the most conspicuous objects in this case is 
a fine specimen of the Sun-FISH (Orthagoriscus 
mola), taken at Overstrand in 1843, one of the most 
singularly-formed of any of the fishes ; a STURGEON ; 
-Doc-FISHES of various species ; the head of a 
HAMMER-HEADED SHARK, which was killed at Yar- 
mouth in 1829; a fine PoRBEAGLE; an ANGEL-FISH 
(RAina sguatina) and young ; some large freshwater 
EELs and LamprReys; and specimens of the various 
PIPE-FISHES, small marine fishes of singular appear- 
ance belonging to the Order LOPHOBRANCHII ; 
they are bad swimmers, and generally maintain a 
vertical position by means of a very rapid vibration of 
the dorsal fin. Another peculiarity is that the males 
of most species receive the eggs of the female in a 
sac at the base of the tail, or attached to the abdomen. 
We have the Broap-NosED PIPE-FISH (S7phonostoma 
typhle), the GREAT PIPE-FISH (Syngnathus acus), the 
OcEAN or SNAKE Pipe-risH (Verophis equoreus), and 
the still more curious SEA-HORSE ee steals.
