The first Norfolk specimen of this rare and singular fi.sh was seen 
at Cole’s, naturalist, Norwich, by Mr. Southwell, from whom I

in a drift-net by the ‘Butterfly,’ Wells, W. J. Hardman, on 
October 8th, 1879. It measures 53 in. long, 10. in. deep; 
thickness, about 1 in. After being purchased by Mr. T. J. Mann 
of Bishop Stortford, and exhibited at the Norwich Fisheries 
Exhibition, it was presented by that gentleman to the Norwich 
Museum, where it now is.” Mr. Southwell’s interesting account of 
this fish is published in the present volume of the ‘ Transactions
