FAUNA AND FLO It A OF NORFOLK : FISHES.

* Megrim (Amoglossus latema, Giinther). 
Tliis is another fish, the recognition of which is due to the 
watchfulness of Mr. A. Patterson, of Yarmouth. This, the only 
specimen which has been recognised as occurring in this county, so 
far as I am aware, was brought to him by a fish-hawker at 
Yarmouth on 23rd July, 1903. It measured 4 inches in length. 
Salmon ( Salma salar, Linn.). 
The taking of a Salmon, with a fly, in a Norfolk river, is worth 
recording; such an event occurred on the 20th May, 1 897, when 
one weighing fi lbs. was captured in the Stoke river by Mr. 
Geofl'roy Fowell Buxton. It has deservedly found a place in 
the Norwich Castle-Museum. 
Herring ( Cl a pea herangus). 
A bi-sex ual herring was sent me by Mr. Patterson on 29th 
January, 1902 ( see Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 7, ix. p. 195). 
Another example is mentioned in the ‘ Norwich Mercury ’ 
of December 13th, 1902. A third instance was noted at 
Yarmouth in December, 1903. 
Pilchard (Clupea pilrhardus). 
An infrequent visitor to our coast ; three were taken in a 
draw net on Yarmouth beach, on 3rd June, 1899. 
Sturgeon (Acipenser sturio, var. latirostris, Parnell). 
The broad-nosed variety of the Sturgeon is much less frequently 
met with by our fishermen than the normal form A. sturio ; one is 
recorded by Mr. Patterson as brought into Yarmouth on 23rd 
November, 1899. 
Planers Lamprey ( Petromyzon branch ini is, Lacep). 
On the 10th April, 1900, Mr. Patterson found an example of 
this fish, 4A inches long, on the South beach at Yarmouth.
