 A HISTORY OF SUFFOLK 55. Dab. PUurenectes limanday Linn. Plentiful. 56. Flounder. Pleuronectes feius, Linn. Common in the estuaries at Lowestoft, Har- wich, etc. and in the sea in the spring when it is spawning. 57. Sole. Solea vulgaris, Quensel. Fairly plentiful on the trawling grounds. The young I J in. to 3 in. long are taken in consider- able numbers by shrimpers on the Newcome Sand opposite Lowestoft, together with others from 6 in. to 10 in. in length. Those taken by the large trawlers are from 8 in. to 1 8 in. in length. 58. Solenette. Solea lutea, Risso. Common on the Brown Ridges. PLECTOGNATHI 59. Sun-fish. Orthagorlscus mola, Linn. Three specimens are on record as taken at Yarmouth, one in Sir Thomas Browne's list written in 1662, one in 1835, and one in 1843.' PERCESOCES 60. Thin-lipped Grey Mullet. Mugil capita, Cuv. At the mouth of the Orwell (Gurney). 6 1 . Atherine. Atherina presbyter, Jenyns. At Lowestoft according to Gurney. 62. Larger Launce or Sand-eel. Ammodytes lan- ceolatus, Lesueur. Dr. Lowe reverses the English names of these species, calling lanceolatus the lesser, tobianus the larger launce. He states that lanceolatus occurs in the Norfolk Estuary, but it probably occurs also on the Suffolk coast. 63. Lesser Launce, or Sand-eel. Ammodytes to- bianus, Lesueur. Common at Yarmouth and Lowestoft. 64. Gar-fish. Belone vulgaris, Fleming. Taken regularly in small numbers by the mac- kerel nets off Lowestoft in October. Dr. Lowe gives some interesting notes on the occurrence of the Hemirhamphus europaeus of Yarrell, which is in all probability the young of this species. He observed them in the Ouse below Lynn in July 1868. 65. Saury Pike, or Skipper. Scombresox saurus, Bl. Schn. Occurs at Yarmouth according to Gurney. ' Paget op. cit. and Zool. 1 843, HEMIBRANCHII aculeatus, Linn. Common. tius, Linn. Probably occurs. 68, Fifteen-spined Stickleback. Gasterosteus spinachia, Linn. Rare at Yarmouth according to Paget. LOPHOBRANCHII 69. Broad-nosed Pipe-fish. Siphonostoma typhle, Linn. Occurs at Yarmouth and Lowestoft. 70. Greater Pipe-fish. Syngnathits acus, Linn. Probably common. 71. Sea-horse. Hippocampus antiquorum. Leach, Is included in Paget's Yarmouth list, but there is no record of its having been taken on the Suf- folk coast. HAPLOMI Common in the Norfolk Broads, probably occurs in Suffolk. OSTARIOPHYSI Probably occurs. Common. Common. Common. Common. Common. Common. 168
