 various other Fish : also in Romsey-mere, near Hunt- 

 ingdon, famous for Eels and Pike. 



The Tamer divides the counties of Cornwall and 

 Devonshire, passes Launceston, Saltash, and Ply-

 England. 



The Ex rises in Somersetshire, passes Tiverton and 

 Exeter, and empties itself into the sea, at Exmouth : 

 during its course, it takes the waters of several streams, 

 and is well stored with Salmon, Trout, Eels, &c. 



The Itchin rises in Hampshire, and passing by 

 Rumsey and Winchester, falls into the sea, at South- 

 ampton ; it abounds with Trout, fine Eels, and other 

 Fish. 



The Wye rises in Montgomeryshire, passes by 

 Hereford and Monmouth, and falls into the Severn, 

 below Chepstow 3 and is stored with Trout and Gray- 

 ling. 



The Eden, Humber, Tees, Ribble, Went, Rother, 

 Tweed, and Tyne, are the principal rivers in the North

 Trout, and all the varieties of Trout, are more numerous
