tail (the only distinction between them) though constant in 
the smaller Specimens, is often wanting in the larger. The 
quotation in Mr. Yarrell’s work, p. 297, from my M.S., is 
misapplied to this Fish, and belongs to the proper Goldsinny 
C. Tinea, Yarrell, p. 293. 
GOLDSINNY. C. Tinea. Yarrell’s Br. F., vol. 1, p. 293. 
Connor. Common. There are sufficient marks of dis- 
tinction between this Fish, and tho Species described and 
figured by Mr. Selby, in Sir Win. Jardine’s Magazine of 
Zoology, vol. 1, p. 167, and pi. 6. to cause mo to believe the 
Goldsinny is not the Lutjanus Rupestris of Bloch, as that 
Gentleman supposes. 
ROCK COOK. This Species, not described by Mr. Yar- 
rell, was first found in Cornwall; and named C. Micro- 
stoma, in my M.S. a name adopted by Mr. Thompson who 
has found it in Ireland. Sec Jardine’s Mag. Zool., vol. 2, 
PI. 14. It is less common than the Goldsinny, and is 
chiefly taken in Crab Pots. 
SCALE-RAYED WRASS. C. Luscus. Yarrell’s Br. F„ 
vol. 1, p. 300. Rare. 
The two following are introduced on doubtful authority : 
TWO SPOTTED WRASS. Labrus Bimaculatus Lin. On 
the authority of Pennant, who however did not see the 
Specimen. 
HOG WRASS. L. Suillus Lin. On the authority of Osbeck, 
who may have confounded it with the Rock Cook ; if indeed 
they be different. 
TRUMPETFISH. Centriscus Scolopax. Jenyns, p. 400. 
Yarrcll’s Br. F., vol. 1, p. 302. One Cornish Specimen 
only is on record. 
RACE. Cyprians Lends cus. Jenyns, p. 410. Yarrell’s Br. 
F., vol. I, p. 353. I know of this fish from no other of our 
Rivers beside the Tamar. 
Minnow, c. Phoxinus. Jenyns, p. 415. Yarrell’s Br. 
F-, vol. 1, p. 372. Common in many of our Rivers, but not 
in all. 
1 HE CARP. C. Carpio; and the Tench, C. Tinea , are not 
natives of Cornwall, but are kept in ponds. 
ROACH. Cobitis Barbatula. Jenyns, p. 416. Yarrcll’s 
Br. p., vol. 1, p. 376. Common in some Rivers. 
GARFISH. Belone Vulgaris. Jenyns, p. 418. Yarrell’s 
Hr. F., vol. 1, p. 391. Long nose, and Gorefish. Common 
at all seasons, but less abundant in Spring. It is voracious 
and of very quick digestion ; feeding on every variety of 
living being it is able to seize.
