04. Centronotus gunellus (L.). Butter-fish. 
Gordon (Zool, 1852, p. 3460) records the butter-fish as very 
common in the Moray Firth in pools below high-water 
mark ; it is also mentioned by Mr. Houstouu as occurring 
off the east coast of Sutherland, and by Mr. Peach as 
occurring off the north coast. 
05. Zoarces viviparus, L. Viviparous Blenny. 
Mr. Houston of Kintradwell records this as a species fre- 
quently met with in the sea-pools of the east coast, and 
Mr. Peach observed it on the north coast. 
Mr. Peach says of the Blennies : " All go under the 
generic name of ' Brumple.'" The two last are very common 
between tide-marks under stones, and are used as bait for 
lythe, being drawn after the boat.
