CAMBRIDGESHIRE. 



The principal stream in this county is the 

 Cam, which is formed by two branches ; one 

 springing from the neighbourhood of Ashwell, 

 and the other from near Newport, in Essex. 

 Several other smaller collections of water join 

 the Cam before it reaches Cambridge. After 

 it leaves this distinguished seat of learning, 

 it sinks into fens, then joins the Ouse, and 

 ultimately makes its exit in the waters which 

 enter the sea at the town of Lynn. A few 

 trout are seen now and then, and some of a 

 good size ; but the general mass of fish are of 

 the common sort, such as pike, eels, roach, 

 bream, and perch. 



The river Nene only touches a part of the 

 county just below Peterborough, where it 

 divides into three channels. There are occa- 

 sionally good -sized and rich -flavoured trout 

 taken out of it; but in general it is only fit 

 for bottom fishing. There are good pike, perch,
