COD .FISHERY. 93 



{ing, which is called tips, by the Icelanders, and 

 oefs, by the Norwegians, is the afellus longus, 

 which is likewife a fpecies of torfk, but longer and 

 lefs thick than the other kind. We may, there- 

 fore, conclude, that, according to M. Horrebows, 

 the tor/k, or cabillaud, that is, our common cod, 

 is the fitted fifh for making the different forts of 

 ftockfifh, whereof we intend to treat ; befides the 

 flockfifh, that is made with lize, wittelingue, &r. 

 which feem to be fifh.es of the genus of melwe/s, 

 iv bit ings, &c. 



Of the fjheries, which the Dutch, Englijh, French, 

 &c. may carry on in the Northern feas, toge- 

 ther with a general Idea of their Jljheries and 

 trade. 



People of all nations may fifh in the northern 

 Teas, provided they keep at certain diftances from 

 land ; for, the Icelanders, Norwegians, &c. will 

 not allow foreigners to come near fliore to pre- 

 pare their fifh, on which account they are oblig- 

 ed to cure their cod in the green way. If, how- 

 ever, any veflels have been damaged, they are al- 

 lowed to enter port for the purpofe of refitting ; 

 but they are watched, to prevent the curing of 

 fiih on land. Accordingly, all the foreign fifhers 

 make up their fifh in the green way, in barrels.
