Fifteen specimens of Red Gurnards were obtained in one haul at 
Station VIII. in December 1898, but such a large number in one haul is 
exceptional, They are also recorded by Landsborough in his Natural 
History of Arran, p. 492. 
Trigla lucerna, Linné. The Sapphirine Gurnard. 
This, which is the Zrigla hirundo of Day’s British Fishes, appears 
also to be moderately rare in the Clyde. Thompson remarks that he has 
seen this species in autumn captured in salmon nets at Ballantrae, in 
Ayrshire, and on different parts of the coast in the country (Day).* Ido 
not find it recorded amongst the captures of Clyde fishes made by the 
Fishery steamer ‘‘Garland.” 
Trigla gurnardus, Linné. The Grey Gurnard. 
Common, and generally distributed throughout the seaward part of 
the Clyde and in Loch Fyne, especially during the summer months, This 
seems to be a common species throughout the Scottish seas. Large 
quantities of gurnards are sometimes landed at the fish market at Aber- 
deen, and they nearly all belong to this species. 
 Triglops murrayt, Giinther. Murray’s Triglops. 
‘Several specimens from 24 to 4 inches long were obtained at the 
Mull of Cantyre at a depth of 64 fathoms in the months of February and 
March, and 4 miles south-east of the Island of Sanda in 35 fathoms in the 
middle of March 1887” (Giinther). One specimen 22 inches long was 
captured in the shrimp-trawl of the “‘Garland,” in the vicinity of Sanda, 
November 1896. TZriglops murrayt is described as closely allied to 
Trigla pengelli ; it is one of the species added to the British fauna by Dr, 
(now Sir) John Murray. 
Fam, CaTAPHRACTI, Miiller. 
Agonus cataphractus, Linné. The Pogge. 
Ardrishaig (Dr. Scouler). Occasionally in other parts of Loch Fyne 
and the Clyde estuary. ‘‘ Five specimens from the Mull of Cantyre, 49 to 
50 fathoms, February. Two specimens from Kilbrennan Sound, 10 to 20 
fathoms, March 1888” (Giinther), It has also been got by the ‘“ Garland” 
at Stations I. and VI. 
Fam, Prepicunati, Cuvier. 
Lophius piscatorius, Linné. The Angler. 
The Angler is frequently taken in the trawl-net of the Fishery 
steamer ‘‘Garland,” and especially at those stations where the water is
