The list of fishes, a nominal catalogue in the vernacular of 
the period, begins at page 23, under the caption, “Thirdly, 
of Fishes.” A sub-heading gives the nature of the list in 
the following terms: “A Catalogue of Fish, that is, of those 
that are to be seen between the English Coast and America, 
and those proper to the Country.” The list, which includes 
several mammals, mollusks, and crustaceans, is followed by a 
compendium of imagined or traditional medicinal virtues of 
- many species.
