I 



N three short lines Ausonius, in his Idyl on the Moselle, appears to speak of the fish now 

 under our consideration, namely, the Chub — 



"Squameus herbosas Capito interlucet arenas, 

 Viscere praetenero fartim congestus aristis. 

 Nee duraturus post bina trihoria mensis." (Id. .\. 85-7.) 



"Among the weedy sands the scaly Chub glitters, completely stuffed in its very soft flesh with awn-like bones, 

 a fish which will not keep for the table beyond six hours."
