CARP. 53 



REMARKS ON CARP. 



Carp will thrive well in rivers, but they 

 only breed in still waters, canals, lakes, ponds, 

 &c. they are found in deep holes by or near 

 flood-gates, in eddies, and near large beds of 

 weeds. They will not feed in ponds later than 

 Michaelmas, nor earlier than May, unless the 

 weather is particularly mild.
