Lut ho calls it “ Bubalis, or Bather-Lasher,” as though they were 
synonymous.

Mr. A. Patterson sends me a note of the capture of this fish 
at Yarmouth. It had previously been only recorded from the 
Norfolk estuary. 
Trigla pjeciloptera (C. and V.). Little Gurnard. 
“ Steindacher, in 1867, observed that T. pceciloptera (C. and Y.) 
is identical with T. corax (Bon.), and T. capensis (C. and V.) 
and with the young of T. hirundo; an observation which was 
confirmed by Professor Liitkin in 1876 ” (Lay’s Brit. Pishes). The 
first Norfolk specimen was taken by me in May, 1873 ; 
Mr. Patterson has recently found others at Yarmouth. 
Brajia raii (BL). Bay’s Bream. 
Mr. Hamon L’Estrange sends me a note on the capture of one at 
Hunstanton, October 12th, 1893. It was found alive on the 
beach by a fisherman. It weighed 5 lbs. 14 ozs., and measured 
23.5 inches (vide Trans. Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. vol v. 
p. 421). “One taken off Palling on October 30th, 1885, was 
sent to Mr. Gunn, of Norwich. It weighed 5£ lbs.”— T. S.

the same example: “On October 16th, 1891, a very beautiful 
specimen of this fish, 24 inches long, was taken alive in the 
breakers near Caistor, Gt. Yarmouth, and passed into the 
possession of Mr. J. B. Nutman of that town, for whom it was 
preserve'd.” 
“‘The Norfolk Bemembrancer,’ under date April 30th, 1810,

King Pish, found on Mundesley beach.’ ” — T. S.

in the collection at Hunstanton Hall.” — T. S.
