Under the head of “ Delphinns hidens,” Messrs. Paget say : — 
“ A large one caught in a lierring-net, November, 1816 ; a smaller 
specimen about twenty yeare before.” On the 22nd September, 
1858, one of these whales was stranded on the “ Perrier Sand,” at 
the entrance to the Ouse, which measured twenty-eight feet eight 
inches in length. IVlr. E. L. King also informs me that two 
others of this species were taken on the 23rd September, 1867, 
near the same place ; the larger one, a female, measured twenty- 
six feet eight inches ; the smaller one eighteen feet six inches. 
36. Orca gladiator (Gray). The Killer, Gi-ampus. 
Sir Thomas Browne mentions one measuring about sixteen feet 
in length, taken at Yannouth about 1658. In July, 1823, a speci- 
men, weighing four cwt., and eleven feet long, was found alive on 
\armouth beach : (Paget). In 1830 one was taken in Lynn 
Harbour, which measured twenty-one feet : (Loudon’s Mag. Nat. 
Hist., vol. 5.) And jSfr. T. E. Gunn, in the Zoologist S. S., 
p. 1927, records one being brought into Yarmouth Harbour on the 
25th of June, 1867, Avhich weighed fourteen cwt. 
37. PiioCiENA coM.MUxis (Lessou). Porpoise. 
Common along the coast, sometimes coming up into the harbours. 
KEPTILIA. 
1. ZOOTOCA VIVIPARA (Wagl). Common Lizard. 
Frequent on heaths, hedge-banks, and dry places. Local name 
“Swift.” 
2. Anguis fragilis (Linn). Slow-worm. 
Not uncommon on heaths and in diy Avoods. The Eev. H. T, 
Frere finds it very common at Burston, and remarks a curious 
partiality displayed by it for some particular spot. “ Every year,” 
he says, “ I see one or two close to one of my gates, and again on 
a particular grave in the Church-yard, in neither case is the 
favourite spot more than a square yard.” In Norfolk, ]\Ir. F. 
Norgate says, the sloAv-Avorm is called the “ gloAV-worm,” the real 
gloAv-worm being called the “ glaze-Avorm.”
