The Gods Bill of Fare,

trates the omnivorous nature of the
Gods diet. Among the fish falling :
prey to its voracious maws we note
the young of the herring, dab, whiting
and sand eel Shrimps and young lo'a
sters also form an important item III
the Gods menu. The strangest part OF
the Gods diet perhaps is the sea mouse
whose thick covering of brlstles might
be thought to render it unwelcomc te
any stomach. Large whelks and shells
of whelks with their indwelling hermit
crabs are also largely devoured. From
its partially to mollusks, in fact. tE<
