UNUSUAL FISH FOUND
An unusual fish, said by fishermen to be a species of the sunfish, was washed up on the foreshore at Tararu, near Thames. In shape it was something akin to a flounder, although across it measured approximately 4ft and in length about sft. At the head it was some 18in to 2ft in thickness.
The fish had two eyes almost the size of cricket1 balls. From the head the fish tapered, and standing out on the back portion was a bone arrangement similar to the keel of a yacht.
