SAINT LUCIA. 



CATALOGUE OF THE PBINCIPAL FISHES. 



NOTES. 



No attempt is made to give a list of the smaller kinds of fish. Their number is legion, 

 and their colours often varied and very brilliant ; but the flesh is coarse. 



Of the larger kinds, the Grouper, the King Fish (Tazza), the Cavally (Carrengue grasse), 

 the Black Jack (Carrengue noire), and the Barracouta, are considered the finest for the table. 

 Among the smaller ones, the Butterfish is an excellent and delicate morsel. So is the Spanish 

 Mackerel. Flying Fish and Jack Fi^h are good eating, and likewise the Bock Hind.
