XiPHiAS GLADIUS (L.) Swordfish. 
Mundesley — H. M. Upclier, Esq. 
In August, 1865, a specimen measuring from tij) to tip 10 ft. 
2 in., was brought to me by some Lynn fishermen, who had found 
it stranded aoout lour miles below Lynn. There was no wound 
to account for its deatli, and it had evidently been left by the 
receding tide. My friend I)r. T. S. Cobbold, who examined it 
with me, discovered in it several species of Entozoa new to science. 
In the stomach there were besides some small fish, the remains of 
crabs and starfishes. Sir T. Browne mentions one with a sword a 
yard and a half long, taken by being entangled vdth herring nets 
at Yarmouth. 
“On the 31st Oct., 1861, a specimen 9 ft. 5 in., including the 
sword, which measured 3 feet, was observed in shallow water at 
Mundesley, and captured by a noose being passed over its tail — 
The head is in the Xorwich Museum. I tasted the flesh, and 
found it very palatable.” — J. H. G. 
The sword of one found in the Wash is now in the Wisbeach 
Museum.
