f shall not eliter fnrther into the (piestion of how the few lish witli thc 

 marks ol' Loims-iircdning and Liv-Bredning have got in herc; 1 look upon it 

 as very doulitful whether they have really gone lliere from the said jilaccs. 

 W'lien wv know how ditlieult it is thoroughly to enipty a Hsliing-sniack with 

 well, we are rather inelincd fo sn])])ose that somc few liave heen left in thc 

 well from one lisiiiiig cxoursion lo thc next. W'hen the plaiee had l)ecn marked 

 they were placed iii the well again, hefore they were transplanted to Thisted- 

 Bredning. The 4 from Visliy i »redning, 011 1 he ol her hånd, may casily haveeniigra- 

 tcd to'J'histed-Bredning. hul whcthcr thc\- lia\e really done so is anolhcr matter. 



H2.r)S0 jilaioc. eertainly. are a great numher. hul tlicy do not till much 

 in Thisted-Bredning, and 1 have lieen told, in soher earnest, though pcriiapt: 

 with a iittle ex'aggeration Ihal tliere arc fishermen on the Limfjord who 

 yearly use as gi'ciil a nimdiei' of ]ilaice under the si/,c limit for tJieir pigs; al- 

 ter all, tilis is liiit Iittle more tliau .UOO a day iluring the !• montlis of thc year. 

 Those people are said lo live on tlu' southein and westei'ii sliorcs of the Limfjoi'd.
