Division BATOIDEI. 
Family TORPEDINID.S. 
16. Torpedo nobillana, Bonap. Torpedo. 
" A specimen of this very rare fish was landed here lately by 
a Lossiemouth trawler. Our fishermen had never seen 
anything like it before, and could not say what it was. The 
fish measured 28 inches in length, 19 J inches in breadth, 
and weighed 13 lbs. It was sent to Edinburgh, and at a 
meeting held since, it was exhibited by Professor Cossar 
Ewart as a new torpedo, which he said seemed to correspond 
with the Torpedo hebetans (?). This specimen was considered 
by Professor Ewart to be the only one ever found north of 
the English Channel. He recommended the Fishery Board, 
to whom it was sent by Mr. Low of Wick, to present it to 
the Museum of Science and Art after preservation, and 
which I have no doubt has been done " (W. Eeid, in Zand 
and Water, Jan. 22d, 1884). This specimen is now in that 
Museum. 
Eecorded from Banff by Edwards, in 181 7, and subse- 
quently.
