121. Labrus mixtus, L. Cook Wrasse. 
There is a specimen of the cook wrasse in the Dunrobin 
Museum, caught off there in September 1870. A specimen 
of the three-spotted wrasse, the female of the cook wrasse, 
is reported by Mr. Eeid to have been taken at Wick in 
October 1870, and he remarks that it is very rare there. In 
May of the same year five cook wrasse are mentioned by the 
last-named gentleman as having been caught on haddock- 
lines in one day, and he also says that this was the first 
time they had been seen there. One is recorded as a rarity 
(and much rarer than the last species), as having been 
obtained from local fishermen at Lossiemouth by Mr. J. 
Gatherer, Curator of the Elgin Museum, in the Elgin 
Courant for March 25, 1887. 
122. Crenilabrus melops (i.). Goldsinny; Baillon's Wrasse. 
Both Edward and Martin record this species from the Moray 
Eirth ; the former says it is rare, while the latter says it is 
often met with.
