A Lump or Lumpus Anglorum so named by Aldrouandus by some esteemed a festiuall dish though it affordeth butt a glutinous jellie & the skinne is beset with stony knobs after no certaine order ours most answereth the first figure in the xiii table of Johnstonus butt seemes more round & arcuated then that figure makes it. Before the herrings there co[=m]only cometh a fish about a foot long by the fish man called an horse[61] resembling in all poynts the Trachurus of Rondeletius of a mixed shape between a mackerell & an herring. obseruable from [an oblique bo _crossed out_] its greene eyes rarely skye colored back after it is kept a day & an oblique bony line running on ye outside from the gills vnto ye tayle. a drye & hard dish butt makes an handsome picture. [61] This is the Horse Mackerel, or Scad, _Caranx trachurus_; a handsome fish and common enough, especially off Sheringham, but not much esteemed for the table. The Rubelliones or Rochets[62] butt thinly met with on this coast. the gornart cuculus or Lyræ species more often wch they seldome eat butt bending the back & sprdding the finnes into a liuely posture do hang them up in their howses. [62] Fish of the Gurnard kind are here referred to. The Rochet of Pennant is the Red Gurnard, _Trigla cuculus_; he calls _T. lyra_ the Piper. Large numbers of various species of Gurnard are brought in by our trawlers and sell readily, especially the Sapphirine Gurnard, or Tub-fish (_T. hirundo_), which is known as the "Lachet" on our coast; it reaches a large size, and seems to be much in demand for the table. In spring the colours are very brilliant, and they are frequently seen on the fish stalls with their pectoral fins extended as Browne describes. [_Fol. 27._] Beside the co[=m]on mullus[63] or mullet there is another not vnfrequent wch some call a cunny fish butt rather a red muellett of a flosculous redde & somewhat rough on the scales answering the discription of [Rond _crossed out_] Icon of Rondeletius vnder the name of mullus ruber asper [no _crossed out_] butt not the tast of the vsually knowne mullet as [being butt _crossed out_] affording butt a drye & leane bitt. [63] The Common Mullet I take to be the Grey Mullet (_Mugil capito_), which is at times plentiful on our coast, coming into Breydon and the mouths of the rivers, but the Red Mullet (_Mullus barbatus_) is far less frequently met with. In his third letter to Merrett, Browne says, "There is of them _maior_ and _minor_," the latter probably being the variety known as the Surmullet, by far the most frequently met with here. Seuerall sorts of fishes[64] there are wch [bear _crossed out_] do [_written above_] or may beare the names of seawoodcocks as the Acus maior scolopax & saurus. the saurus wee sometimes meet with yonge. Rondeletius confesseth it a very rare fish somewhat resembling the Acus or needlefish before & a makerell behind. wee have kept one dryed many yeares agoe.
