FAUNA AND FLORA OF NORFOLK: FISHES. 
G37 
* Gomus ruthensparri (Euphr.). Double-spotted Goby. 
Mr. A. Patterson has recorded the capture of tlds species in 
Shrimp nets at Yarmouth (Trans. Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. 
vol. v. p. 324). His claim for it as the first recorded Norfolk 
specimen is rendered doubtful by Mr. Day having pronounced my 
G. jrusitlus to be the same as G. ruthensparri. I think, however, 
that the two are <iuite distinct, and that G. pusillus is a good 
species. 
Gorius nioer (L.). Dock .Goby. 
Mr. A. Patterson mentions the capture of three specimens, at 
Yarmouth, in Shrimp nets (Trans. Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. 
vol. v. p. 228). 
* Gonius I’arnelu (Day). Speckled Goby. 
This fish which is new to the Norfolk Fauna was taken by 
Mr. Patterson, May 7th, 1890; he has since found several other 
specimens. 
* Arm a pelluciua (Moreau). Transparent Goby. 
On Juno 9th, 1890, a specimen of this fish, which is also 
new to Norfolk, was brought to Mr. A. Patterson. Several others 
were afterwards found. The species was determined by Dr. 
Gunther (Trans. Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. vol. v. p. 228). 
CaLUONYMUS lyra (L). OommcoU8 Dragonet. 
It is worthy of note that the colours of this fish are much less 
vivid in the Norfolk estuary than elsewhere. This is probably due 
to the large amount of alluvial matter brought down by the Ouse, 
preventing the action of light. 
Cyclopterus lump us (L.). Lump-fish. 
A fine specimen was brought alive to me at Lynn, December 
11th, 1884 ; it weighed 17 lbs. 
Atherina presbyter (Jen.). Atherine. 
“Generally plentiful in Lowestoft basins in midsummer. As a 
rule rare at Yarmouth, one now and again turning up in Smelt 
nets.” — A. P. 
There, can be no doubt it is plentiful in summer along some 
parts of the east coast, contrary to the expressed opinion of 
Montagu and Yarrell as to its absence.
