North Suffolk, whilst the Mirror Carp (C. 
spec u laris) has been acclimatised in ponds near 
Lowestoft. 
Anchovy C Engraulis encrasicholus) . — During the herring 
fishery of 1913, Mr. R. Beazor had four 
anchovies, picked out of the herring-swdls, taken 
to him for identification. I know of a fifth 
captured. 
Eel f Anguilla vulgaris) . — A Common Eel, exhibited at 
Lowestoft in February, 1911, was 64 in. long and 
weighed 3 2\ lb. On September 30th, I saw a 
huge (barren female) eel, measuring 5 ft., and 
weighing 24 lb. ; the locality of capture I did not 
satisfactorily ascertain. On February 6th, 1912, 
a large example was sent for inspection. I 
guessed its length at 5 ft., and was informed that 
it weighed 28 lb. Locality also unknown. 
SHORT Sunfish (Orthagoriscus molaj . — A Short Sunfish 
was captured at East Runton in the early part 
of August, 1912. Length 20 in., and from tip 
of dorsal fin to the tip of the anal fin 30 in. I 
believe it was cut up for crab-bait. One in the 
previous November, washed up at Sheringham, 
length 5 ft. ; large fins from tip to tip, 6 ft. 2 in. 
BURTON Skate ( Raia alba ). — For the first time I met with 
Raia alba on May 19th, 1909. The specimen 
was immature, with a well-defined border of 
black edging the white underside, a peculiarity 
that led Couch to describe it as the Bordered 
Ray. Length 11 in., and 8 in. across the disc- 
SANDY Ray ( Raia circularisj. — Dr. Day (“ British Fishes ”) 
brackets the Cuckoo Ray and Sandy Ray as one 
species. With the late Matthias Dunn, of 
Mevaglssey, one of the greatest authorities on 
the Skate family, I am in agreement in disputing 
Day’s finding. The markings are so distinct, as 
given by Couch, the former being distinguished
