Sir J. Browne says: “Sometimes we meet with a mola, or 
moonfish, so called from some resemblance it hath to a crescent in 
the extreme part of the body, from one fin unto another. One 
being taken near the shore at Yarmouth, before break of day, 
seemed to grunt and shiver like a hog, * * * jhe gills of 
these fish we found beset with a kind of sea louse.* In the year 
1GG7 a mola was taken at ]\tousley, which weighed 200 lbs.”

sions were 4 It. long, 2 ft. deep, and about 15 in. thick. Another
