Ommatostrephes todarus, Delle Chiaje. 
A small fragment of a cuttlefish shell, apparently belonging to 
this species, was obtained in a halibut stomach examined 
in March. 
Loligo vulgaris, Lamarck. 
Several specimens of Loligo have been met with, and though they 
may not all belong to the species named, one or two 
certainly do so. 
Eledone cirrosa, Lamarck. 
Specimens of Hledone were met with on several occasions, but 
other specimens were obtained which were scarcely perfect 
enough to determine the species. Cuttlefish jaws were also 
not uncommon, representing both large and small specimens. 
Echinodermata. 
Spatangus purpureus, O. F. Miiller. 
Fragments of the test of a Spatangus occurred in the intestine 
of one of the halibuts examined in September. 
Cidarus papillata, Leske. 
A partly-crushed test was obtained in a halibut’s stomach 
examined in June. 
Ophiura sp. 
Several discs and fragments of arms were observed from time to 
time, but not identified. 
CETERA. 
Annelida were met with on one or two occasions, but appeared to be 
exceedingly rare in the stomachs of the halibut examined. Fragments of 
Zoophytes were also occasionally observed, and so also were small bits of 
stone. One piece of stone measured in millimetres 27 by 21 by 13, and its 
weight just under half an ounce avoirdupois. 
Norges on THE Foop or Scorpena dactyloptera, Belone vulgaris, Phycis 
blennotdes, aND Chimera monstrosa. 
Scorpena dactyloptera, De la Roche. 
A considerable number of Scorpena dactyloptera were examined in 
February and March 1910, but the stomachs of about two-thirds of them 
contained nothing that could be satisfactorily determined. In one of the 
stomachs of the remainder was found a nearly perfect specimen of Sepiola 
rondelett, Leach, and in another a small individual somewhat imperfect, 
which appeared to belong to the same species. Cuttlefish remains were 
found in other four, but were too imperfect to be satisfactorily identified, 
though from their appearance they were probably also Sepiolas. In the 
stomach of another of the same lot of Scorpenas were fragments ot Crangon, 
apparently C. allmanni. 
THE GarFisH or SEA Pike (elone vulgaris, Cuvier). 
A number of garfish captured in the North Sea, off the Aberdeenshire 
coast, in April and May, were found to have been feeding more or less 
extensively on small crustacea ; both the stomach and intestine were in some 
instances filled with them. Eight tolerably large garfish, about 18 to 20
