PREHISTORIC FISHING. 



small river Scheuss, which empties into the northeastern end of the Lake of Bienne, 

 and at the Lattringen station in the same lake. These two illustrations probably 

 represent the objects in natural size ; but nothing relative to it is said in Mr. 

 Lee's translation of Dr. Keller's reports, from which the figures are taken.*

FIGS. 144 and 145. Bronze fish-hooks. 



The very fine and large specimen of which Fig. 146 shows the form and 

 size, belonged to the series of lacustrine relics sent by the Antiquarian Society 

 of Zurich to the International Fishery Exhibition, held, as stated, in the year 

 1880 at Berlin, and the figure is copied from the volume treating of that exhibi- 

 tion.f It was found at Romanshorn, on the Swiss side of the Lake of Constance. 

 Though there is, as far as I can discover, no pile-work at Romanshorn, such 

 constructions existed in the neighborhood, and the specimen is considered as a 

 relic of the lake-men.! The originals of Figs. 147 and 148 were obtained at 

 the station of Unter-Uhklingen in the Ueberlinger See (Baden), and that of 

 Fig. 149,|| a large unbarbed double hook, is a relic from the Roseninsel, in 

 Lake Starnberg, Bavaria.
