'Merganser' and ' L.' institute comparisons as to the Trout fario) 

 of the two rivers. It is stated that Minnows {Leiicisciis phoxi7nis) are scarce 

 in the Wharfe. the Eden, and the Yore, but very plentiful in the Aire. The 

 waters of Kilnsey, Wharfedale, swarm with Loach ( Cobitis barhatuloJ] and 

 Bullheads {Cottits gobio). ' Goosander ' continues the discussion as to Trout, 

 and the Editor closes it, remarking that, after all, both Aire and Wharfe 

 Trout run small.

ICHTHYOLOGICAL NOTE. 



Ballan Wrasse at Flamborough.— A specimen of the Ballan Wrasse 

 {Labrtis maculahts Bl.) was found this morning by a fisherman on the beach at 

 Flamborough Head, cast ashore by the heavy seas. Unfortunately, when I went 

 to measure the Wrasse, the person that found it had cooked and eaten it ; I think 

 that its length was. from 16 to 18 inches, and that it was about 14 inches round 

 the thick part of the shoulder. — Matthew Bailey, Flamborough, i\pril 9th, 

 1885. 



Another Wrasse was landed here to-day, caught on the hook while fishing with 

 long lines ; its length was 18 inches, and its width round the shoulder 13 inches. — 

 Matthew Bait.ey, Flamborough, April 21st, 1885.
