FAUNISTIC NOTES. 
By A. MEEK. 
I should like here to draw attention to the food of certain of 
the fishes captured on the North-East Coast (see pages 25—27 and 
68 — 71). Scombresox saurus was recorded in the report for 1901, 
a specimen having been caught by Mr. Douglas, Beadnell. The 
example recorded here was obtained from the stomach of a starry 
ray on 29th January, 1908. Lumgmw lampetriformis was only 
known before in this neighbourhood from a specimen which was got 
near low water mark at Cullercoats (Eeport for 1903). This fish has 
been taken from the stomachs of the whiting and the starry ray, 
and it is therefore probably, as was before suggested, fairly common 
off our coast. The occurrence of a small Myxine glutinosa in the 
stomach of an angler is also worth mentioning. Calocaris 
macandreae, which was obtained from a long rough dab, has not 
previously been recorded for the North-East Coast.

Triglops murrayi. 
On 11th October, 190G, a capital specimen of Triglops murrayi 
was captured in 43 fathoms off Souter Point, by the trawler 
"Kescue." The accompanying figure, drawn by Mr. P. K. 
Thompson, B.Sc, for an article relating to the capture of this and 
the next species contributed to the proceedings of the University 
of Durham Philosophical Society is given here, thanks to the 
courtesy of the editor of that magazine, Dr. F. C. Garrett. The 
specimen measures 4f inches.
