206 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY In the Report of the Committee on Marine Zoology, presented to the Royal Physical Society on the yth of May 1862, it is stated that " in the month of February large numbers of the seabream were taken in the Firth" ("Proc. Roy. Phys. Soc. Edin.," vol. ii. During the eleven years (1886-1897) that the monthly trawling experiments were carried out in all parts of the Firth by the Scottish Fishery Board, and known as the " Garland " observations, only one example of this fish was obtained, namely, a mature specimen in September 1894. PAGELLUS ERYTHRINUS (Linn

FISHES OF THE FIRTH OF FORTH AND ITS TRIBUTARIES 207 little doubt that this supposed flying-fish was a specimen of the Sapphirine Gurnard a species remarkable for the size of its EAGLE CLARKE, "Ann. Scot. Nat. Hist.," 1900, p. 10. Additional Records. The following specimens of the Greater Weever were captured by the " Garland " : 9, 10 inches, Station i, i2th February 1888 ("Rep. Fish. Board Scot.," 1888, part iii. p. 212). One, 12 inches, Station 6, 2gth August 1895 (P- & l8 95> P art in ''> P- 43)- Professor M'Intosh, in his "Resources of the Sea," Table XII., indicates that ten examples were taken by the " Garland," 1886-1895 : three in February 1889 ; six in March 1889; one in August 1889. TRACHINUS VIPERA, Cuv. and VaL PARNELL, pp. 172-174. "Very seldom seen in the Firth of Forth." Four occurrences are mentioned, three for Musselburgh and one for Queensferry (p. 173). The Lesser Weever is not at the present time to be regarded as an uncommon species in the Firth. The fish mien at North Berwick inform me that they frequently capture it when netting for Sand-Launces in June. The late Mr. Gray describes it as common in shallow water over the Tyne sands ("Zoologist," 1849, p. 2519); and other specimens have since, to my knowledge, been captured near D unbar. The Marine Zoology Committee of the Royal Physical Society record its abundance in the season of 1860 in spots where much ulvee and enteromorpha grew. On 1 8th October 1890, a young specimen, 15 mm., was taken by the " Garland," at Station i ("Rep. Fish. Board Scot.," 1890, part iii. p. 337). Tunny : ORCYNUS THYNNUS (Linnaus). EAGLE CLARKE, "Ann. Scot. Nat. Hist.," 1900, p. 10. The following are additional records of the occurrence of the One, 9 feet, 'captured near Queensferry in October 1868 (Walker, "Scot. Nat.," vol. ii. p. 195). One, weighing 5 cwt., Firth of Forth, November 1868 (Day, "Brit. Fishes," vol. i. p. 97).
