FAUNA. AND FLORA OF NORFOLK : FISHES. 
Mugil chelo (Cuv.). Lesser Grey Mullet. 
A small specimen of this fish, taken on Breydon, was sent by 
Mr. A. Patterson to Mr. Southwell who ascertained its identity. 
Labrus maculatus (Bloch). Ballan Wrasse. 
A specimen of this fish, taken at Cley-next-the-Sea, on 
November 11th, 1893, was sent to Mr. Southwell for identifica- 
tion by Mr. Pasldey, of Cley. 
* Gadus pollaohius (L.). Pollack. * 
Mr. Patterson mentions the occurrence of numbers of this 
species at Yarmouth every spring. “They take a bait freely, and 
are locally known as ‘ Pinnikin Coles.’” This fish has not been 
previously recorded in Norfolk. Large ones are rarely taken by 
Cod-liners (Trans. Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. vol. v. p. 229). 
Gadus merlangus (L.). Whiting. 
Mr. Patterson sends a note of one taken at Yarmouth, March 
29th, 1891. “The largest on record.” It weighed 7\ lbs. 
Gadus morrhua (L.). Cod. 
Mr. Day, in his work on British Fishes, has a curious note on 
what might be considered a Norfolk example of this species. 
“ The contents of their stomach are almost infinite (sic ) — from one 
captured in Lynn Deeps, on Midsummer kve, 1626, and brought 
to the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge, was taken a book in three 
treatises” (vol. i. p. 279). 
* Gadus minutus (L.). Power Cod. 
Mr. Patterson sends me a note of another example, 4 inches 
long, taken in a Shrimp net off Yarmouth, February 12th, 1893. 
He recorded the first Norfolk specimen, which he found at 
Yarmouth, April 6th, 1890, in the ‘Transactions’ of that year, 
vol. v. p. 228. 
* Motella cimbria (Nilss. ). Four-bearded Podding. 
Found among the refuse of the draw-nets, on Yarmouth beach, 
23rd May, 1889. Subsequent specimens were verified by Mr. 
Southwell (Trans Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. vol. v. p. 229). 
This is new to the Norfolk Fauna. 
Motella tricirrata (Nilss). Three-bearded Ruckling. 
Two examples occurred at Yarmouth in 1882 and 1890, and 
are recorded by Mr. Patterson in the 1 Transactions,’ vol. v. p. 229.
