Needle Fish. See Syngnathus, Ichthyology Index.

Needles, sharp pointed rocks north of the isle of Wight. They are situated at the western extremity of the island, which is an acute point of high land, from which they have been disjoined by the washing of the sea. There were of these lofty white rocks formerly three, but about 14 years ago the tallest of them, called Lot's Wife, which rose 120 feet above low water mark, and in its shape resembling a needle, being undermined by the constant efforts of the waves, was thrown down, and totally disappeared.
