Mr. Gurney informs me that “ from thirty to forty years ago a 
flat fish Avas commonly caught about Wells, Avhich was locally 
called a ‘ bradcock, but I have not been able to ascertain its scien- 
tific name.” 
Ihe term is still used here Avith reference to the brill.

the Yare, as high upas the “iseAv ^Iills”at ISorwich, Avhich is the 
first stoppage in the river to fish ascending from the sea.” — J. H. G. 
I have frequently seen specimens caught in the Ou.se, Avhich 
were affected Avith a peculiar skin disease resembling epithelioma — 
largo fungous growths cropping out over the Avhole body— the 
granulations large and roe-like — under the microscope consisting 
of large nucleated cells.

Mr. Gurney thinks that “ the sole, like the Avhiting, attains only 
about tAvo thirds the size on the coasts of Norfolk and Suffolk 
that it does on the Devonshire coast.” Yery large specimens are, 
hoAvever, occasionally taken in Lynn Deeps.
