5. Miller’s Thumb ( Cuttus gobio). C. 
G. Burbolt {Lota vulgaris). “Eel-pout.” C. “ Abundant in 
the Tket, which flows by Larlingford and Thetford. Pailsful have 
been taken from Harling mill-pool, when the water has been let 
off that the brick-work might be repaired” (Lubbock). “The 
figure in Day’s British Fishes (Pt. iv. p. 312) is from one caught 
in the river Thet, where it is not uncommon” (Trans.) “Seldom 
caught ; taken out of holes in the banks of the river, and 
accounted very delicate and wholesome” (Martin). 
[Salmon (Salmo salar). Martin says : “ Have been taken in 
great plenty,” but no records have occurred in recent years.] 
7. Salmon Trout ( Salmo trutta). B. Common in the time 
of Martin ; only occur occasionally now. Mr. J. Kirk caught one 
between the first and second staunches, weighing 3 J lbs., on February 
5th, 1892. 
8. Common Trout ( Salmo fario). B. Mr. B. Howard caught 
one weighing 12 ozs. at the fourth staunch. 
9. Pike ( Esox lucius). C. “At Westmere, Pike up to 24 and 
22 lbs. have been taken with rod and line” (B. of N.) “Caught 
in great plenty ; four score have been taken at one throw of 
a casting net” (Martin). Mr. B. Howard has specimens of 23 lbs. 
and IS lbs. from Shad well Lake, and the records of fish over 
the latter weight are extremely numerous. 
10. Carp ( Cyprinus carpio). B.B. 
11. Gudgeon (Gubio jluviatilis). C. 
12. Bo ach ( Leuciscus rufihis). C. 
13. Chub ( Leuciscus cephal/us). B.B. “Chevin.” “Very 
large in some Norfolk rivers — the Ouse, the Thet, and the 
Wissey, near Stoke Ferry” (Lubbock). “April 28th, 1884. In 
Santon Downliam I saw a Chub of about 7 lbs. weight, which 
seemed to have been just fresh landed, and mauled by a very large 
Otter” (F. Norgate in UtL). Are found in deep pools beneath 
overhanging trees. 
14. Budd (Leuciscus erytliroplithalmus). C. “ February 13th, 
1892. Large shoals of Budd in Shadwell Lake” (‘Field.’) Also 
found in the local rivers.

a species locally as the Boacli.
