... deem enormous, we are driven to the con clusion that these Irish Haddocks are more richly fed, and in finer condition than in most parts of England. The higher price cannot proceed from a scarcity of the fish, for it is said that in Dublin Bay and along the neighbouring coast they are in great plenty. ...

The greatest depth is at the vent, which is nearer the front than a third of the whole length, and almost under the root of the pectoral fin. Scales small, and easily lost, lateral line high at first ...
... Boier's Atherine of that work, and consequently of Risso, who first gave it that distinctive name. The specimens, preserved in spirit, were presented to Mr. Yarrell, but they are not found in the collection of that gentleman now in the British Museum. As the whole of those which came under observation ...
... tables of the Romans of the Empire, a circumstance to be explained by the fact that it was not found in the Mediterranean. The first regular fishery appears to have been carried on in the German Ocean, and that in very early times, as appears from the fact that it was so recognised before the year 1368, ...
... this roe gave the number of over four hundred and twenty- three, so that, making a full allowance for the membrane mingled with them, the number of living individuals which might have been produced from this fish, in which the roe was of less than usual proportionate weight, was little less than seven ...

Large scales on the cheeks and body. Lateral line nearer the back, bending down surhlenly opposite the termination of the dorsal ...
... Yarrell mentions he had never seen a specimen. I wish I had thought of preserving mine in spirits now, from the heat of the weather it is spoiled by- decomposition." Since the date of this letter I have been informed of an example which was obtained in St. Austle Bay, on the south- east coast of Cornwall, ...
... separate name from the last species is rather in deference to the opinion of other writers than from our own judgment. That the situation to which they resort has much influence in producing the colour appears from the fact that those Wrasses which are found along that range of rocks on which the Eddystone ...
... intention of the fisherman is, either to let it remain moored until the tide has ebbed away, or at his convenience to draw it to land. But the watchful eye of the fish will often discover the snare even before the barrier of restraint is altogether closed. Instead, however, of rushing to the only but ...

Their habits in other respects are but little known, except that they are disposed to seek their escape from confinement by leaping over an obstacle in the same manner as the Greater Grey Mullet.

... specimens of this species obtained in England. Risso speaks of it familiarly as existing in the Mediterranean, and it is found in the Canary Islands, but with us it must be scarce, as the gorgeous colours ascribed to it by Risso would otherwise prevent it from being overlooked, and yet no observer on ...
... immediately began an attack. The little Whiting easily evaded these attacks by dodging round its friend, but the pursuer was soon joined by another of its own kind, and both of them united in the same work. For a time both of them were baffled, but an unlucky movement drove the pursued one from its shelter, ...

... true Smelt, Osmerus eperlanus, although of a different family, has secured for it a ready sale at our fashionable watering-places, but among writers on natural history there is much diversity of opinion as regards its excellency for the table.
