(Additions to Part IV., Fishes.) 
By John Lowe, ^I.D. 
Read 26th February, 1884 . 
Since tlio publication of tho former list of the Fishes of Norfolk in 
1873 there have not been many additional species recorded. There 
are, however, some of considerable interest ; and some observations 
worthy of note. For most of these I am indebted to Mr. Southwell, 
who, with his usual assiduity, is always keenly on tho alert in 
regard to everything pertaining to tho Natural History of tho 
County. 
Species new to tho list are marked with an asterisk (*). 
Gasterosteus pungitius (L.). Teu-spined Stickleback. 
“^Ir. F. Norgato writes, 23rd February, 1883: ‘Is abundant 
in meadow drains at Sparham.’ !Mr. Louis Buxton also found it 
not uncommon in his lake at Bolwick Hall, 1881,” — T. S. 
Sci.ENA AQUiLA (Risso). ]\Iaigre. 
Tho third Norfolk specimen of this rare fish is recorded in tho 
‘Times’ of November 1st, 1875, by ^Ir. Tregellas of Brompton, 
as having been caught near Yarmouth. It was 4 ft. 9 in. long, 
and weighed seventy-five pounds. “ It is in the posse.ssion of 
Mr. Charles, Arabella Row, Pimlico.” 
Scomber scomber (L.). Mackarel. 
Mr. R. D. Massingham, Harbour-?^Iaster of Lowestoft, in a 
letter to Mr. Southwell, November 9th, 1875, comments on the 
unusual fact of a large number of ^lackarel having been taken at that 
late season of the year. Ho says : “ The large quantity of Mackarel 
landed at our market this autumn is a very unusual thing, as they 
are only caught on this coast in May and J une.”
