was found on Breydon, March 11th, 1914, having 
been choked by attempting to swallow a spiny- 
gilled Sea Bullhead ( Cottus scorpius ) ; another 
in the following August was found floating dead 
with an eel almost as large as itself fast in its 
gullet. 
The capture of a Leathery Turtle ( Dermatochelys 
coriacia ) off Lowestoft, in the herring nets, and 
the alleged escape of its mate in November, 
1913, is worth placing on record. The one taken 
had its neck broken when being hoisted aboard, 
but lived two hours after the accident. As 
others have rarely drifted into British waters, 
possibly through the agency of strong tides, there 
is an unremote probability that the abnormally 
high temperature of the sea obtaining at the 
time off our coasts accounted for its presence 
in local waters.
