- The Bats. 
HE Ba/s is a Fith of equal fize, and efteemed very good ; 
they are found both in falt, and in frefh water, in great 
plenty, 
AELT 
flerrings. 
Wf Errings in March leave the falt waters, and run up the rivers 
and fhallow ftreams of 2 fh water in fuch prodigious fhoals, 
that Rae ple caft them on fhore with fhovels. A horfe pafling 
thefe waters, ne tram les them under his feet; their 
plenty is of great benefit to the inhabitants of many parts of Vir- 
ginia and Caro be. 
But the moft extraordinary inundation of Fith ee afinudlly 
a little weg ee northern cape of Chefapeck B in Virginia, 
here ther aft or ally in March, deck incredible 
Numbers o f fith hat the fhore is covered with t a confi- 
derable depth, t iles in length along the fhore. At 
thefe times the inhabitants ee far within land, come down wit 
their carts and car oy what they want of the fith; there re- 
aoe ot on the im ore than fufficed them 
From the putrefaction a this caufes, the place has attain’d the 
name as Magotty Bay. 
Thefe Fith are oe various kinds and fizes, and are drove on 
on fhore, is a : itis thick and round, 
refembling a mullet, but {inaller Tt is an ce bee ne 
and fo exceflive fat, that Pager is never ufed in any 
other preparation of hie At certain feafons and he a hehe are 
infinite numbers of cthefe fith EAIHL and are much efteemed by 
the inhabitants for their delicacy. 
Ue fea and river that I obferved in Carolina, differ 
eon in Europe of the fame kind ; except pikes, eels and 
fering, le poflibly thts may be more that efcaped my know-
