Fungus rotundus maior I haue found about x inches in Diameter & half [sic, have?] half a one dryed by mee.
Another small paper containes the rude draughts of fibulæ marinæ pellucidæ, [[see Note 90]] or sea buttons a kind of squalder & referring to vrtica marina which I haue obserued in great numbers by yarmouth after a flood & easterly winds. They resemble pure crystall buttons chamfered or welted on the sides with 2 small holes at the ends. They cannot bee sent for the included water or thinne gelly soon runneth from them.
Vrtica marina minor jonstoni [[see Note 90]] I haue often found on this coast. [Continued on fol. 39 verso.]
Physsalus [[see Note 89]] I haue often found also I haue one dryed but it hath lost its shape & colour.
Galei & caniculæ [[see Note 56]] are often found I haue a fish hanged up in my yard of 2 yards long taken among the Herrings at yarmouth which is the Canis carcharias alius Johnstoni. Tab. vi fig. 6.
Lupus marinus you mention upon an handsome experiment butt I find it not in the catalogue. This Lupus marinus or Lycostomus is often taken by our seamen wch fish for cods I haue had diuers brought mee. they hang up in many howses in Yarmouth.
Trutta marina is taken with us—a better dish than the Riuer trowt butt of the same bignesse.
Loligo sepia a cuttle page 191 of your Pinax [[see Note 80]] I conceiue worthy Sr it were best to putt them in 2 distinct lines as distinct species of the Molles. The loligo, calamare or sleue I haue often found cast up on the seashoare & some haue been brought mee by fishermen of aboue [20 crossed out] twentie pound wayet.
Among the fishes of our Norwich riuer wee scarce reckon salmons [[see Note 92]] yet some are yearly taken. butt all taken in the Riuer or coast haue the end of the lower jaw very much hooked which enters a great way into the upper jaw like a socket. you may find the same though not in figure if you please to read Johnstonus fol 101 I am not satisfied with the conceit of some authors there that is [it?] is a difference of male and female for all ours are thus formed. The fish is thicker than [oth crossed out] ordinarie salmons and very much & more largely spotted whether not rather Beccard gallorum or Anchorago Scaligeri I haue bothe draught & head of one dryed either of wch you may command.
Scyllarus or cancellus in turbine tis probable you have [[see Note 84]]. haue you cancellus in nerite a small testaceous found upon this coast.
