{Loach.}
The same as in England.
{Sucking-Fish.}
Sucking-Fish are the nearest in Taste and Shape to a Barbel,
only they have no Barbs.
{Cat-Fish.}
Cat-Fish are a round blackish Fish, with a great flat Head, a wide Mouth,
and no Scales; they something resemble Eels in Taste. Both this sort,
and another that frequents the Salt Water, are very plentiful.
{Grindals.}
Grindals are a long scaled Fish with small Eyes; and frequent Ponds, Lakes,
and slow-running Creeks and Swamps. They are a soft sorry Fish,
and good for nothing; though some eat them for good Fish.
{Old-Wives.}
These are a bright scaly Fish, which frequent the Swamps, and fresh Runs;
they seem to be between an English Roach and a Bream, and eat much like
the latter. The Indians kill abundance of these, and barbakue them,
till they are crisp, then transport them, in wooden Hurdles,
to their Towns and Quarters.
{Fountain-Fish.}
The Fountain-Fish are a white sort which breed in the clear Running Springs
and Fountains of Water, where the Clearness thereof makes them very difficult
to be taken. I cannot say how good they are; because I have not as yet
tasted of them.
{White-Fish.}
The white Fish are very large; some being two Foot and a half long and more.
They are found a great way up in the Freshes of the Rivers; and are firm Meat,
and an extraordinary well-relish'd Fish.
