MISCELLANEOUS NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 
661 
were now found — the Broad-nosed Eel or Grig ( AmjuUla Zatirnxtris), 
weighing 7 lb. and 6 lb., a most unusual size for this variety, 
according to Yarrell, who gives the maximum as 5 lb. The extreme 
length was 3 feet 7 b inches and girth 9 inches. This supplies a 
good record for age and weight. I sent the largest to the Museum 
of the Boyal College of Surgeons, where the skeleton is preserved.

Sukkoi.k (Joleopteka.- The list of Norfolk Coleoptera compiled 
by Mr. Edwards is a most valuable addition to the county Fauna. 
I wish that a similar one could be given for Suffolk. I am no 
coleopterist, but as I spend much time in field work I naturally 
come across many specimens, which 1 send to my friends, and in 
my exploration of Wasps’ and Bees’ nests I have found a great 
number of inquiline or parasitic beetles.
