FAUNA AND FLORA OF NORFOLK. 
Additions to Part IV., Fishes (Fifth List).

Those marked with a * are new to the County List. 
Owing to the regretted death of Dr. John Lowe, by whom the first 
list of the Norfolk Fishes was prepared for our Transactions and 
presented in vol. i. (1873) p. 21, followed by continuations in vol. iii. 
p. 077, vol. v. p. 634 and vol. vi. p. 495, it has fallen to my lot to 
record the rarer and new species which have been met with during 
the last five years, and in doing so, I may at once say that in 
almost every instance the records refer to the marine fishes of 
the East Coast and are due to the vigilance of Mr. Patterson of 
Yarmouth. Since Dr. Lowe left Lynn in the year 1885, this branch 
of the Fauna has been absolutely neglected in North and West 
Norfolk, which is greatly to be regretted, as the fisheries from 
Wells and Lynn would, had they been watched with the same 
assiduity Dr. Lowe bestowed upon them in former times, doubtless 
have been as prolific in rarities as those of the Eastern Coast. It 
is to be hoped that some member in that division of the county 
will take up the work so ably commenced by our late honorary 
member, Dr. Low’e. 
* The Bogus (Box vulgaris, Cuv.). 
In the middle of December, 1902, a specimen of this fish which 
had not hitherto, I believe, been recognised in Norfolk waters, was 
found dead on the beach at Cromer. It measured 9 inches in 
length and inches in depth. It was seen by me in a fresh 
condition.
