MR. A. PATTERSON ON SOME RARE SEA-FISHES. 
on the Yarmouth beach on April 1st, 1889. Two others were 
found by Mr. J. B. Beckett, washed up on the beach after heavy 
winds, on February 23rd, 1890 (see ante p. 109). 
Ocean Pipe-fish ( Ner oplvis cequoreus). When taking an early 
walk along the shore on the morning of April 13th, 1890, 
I found a specimen of this curious fish washed up opposite the 
North Battery at Yarmouth. A second example was brought me 
on the 22nd of May following. Although Dr. Lowe mentions 
this species as having been taken in the Norfolk estuary, I am 
not aware of any previous record for the Yarmouth district. 
In addition to the above I may mention that I have received 
three very lovely specimens of the Greenland Bullhead, to which 
Mr. Day does not accord specific value ; also of the so-called Little 
Gurnard, the individuality of which, I believe, is also denied. 
A very good example of the Double Turbot, which I purchased 
at a fish shop on August 12th, 1890, is now in the Norwich 
Museum. A very fine Stincj Ray, weighing nearly half a 
hundredweight, was taken on a line in the Yarmouth Roads, 
in October, 1890. I may also mention a Monk-fisli, forty-nine 
inches long, which was brought in by the smack “ Pet,” on 
the 2nd June, 1890 : almost immediately after being taken it 
gave birth to twenty-two young ones, each about ten inches in 
length ; two of these which came into my possession have found a 
final resting-place in the Norwich Museum. From a small Herring, 
six and three-quarter inches in length, I picked up on the beach 
on April 13th, 1890, I took no less than one hundred and forty- 
three Opossum Shrimps (My sis chameleon), most of them 
perfect.
