With an approach to the same form and organization with 

 the Cod, the Haddock conies near to it also in its habits; but

 degree on the coast of Scotland; and also on a portion of the 

 coast of Yorkshire, where there is a bank which extends for 

 about eighty miles, but in breadth scarcely exceeding three, 

 where in the winter they are caught in large numbers; but 

 on either side of these limits at the same time none are taken.

 in taking upwards of five hundred and fifty Cods in one day, 

 he took no more than two Haddocks at the same time.
