XXIV. NORFOLK. 



THE Yare, which rises near Attleborough, flows onward 

 to Norwich and Yarmouth, receiving in its way the 

 Wensum,) the Tase, the Waveney, and the Bure, and 

 after uniting with the Thyrn, which rises near Holt, 

 and forms a lake on its way from North Walsham, 

 discharges itself into the German Ocean; and the Ouse, 

 which divides the county from Suffolk and Cambridge- 

 shire, and after receiving the Little Ouse, empties itself 

 into the Lynn Deeps both produce fine fish of almost 

 every kind, as do also their tributary streams. Their 

 perch are remarkably fine, and the Yare abounds with 

 the ruffe. The shallow lakes formed by these rivers 

 in many parts of their course, and here called Broads, 

 are stocked with very large pike, tench, perch, eels, and 

 bream. 



XXV. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. 



THE Nyne, the Learn, and the Cherwell rise very near 

 to each other, in the neighbourhood of Daventry; the 

 first-mentioned, taking a north-easterly direction, runs 

 onward to Northampton and Peterborough, and thence 

 into the Cambridgeshire fens; while the two last-named 

 flow r westward, and after uniting, divide the county 

 from Oxfordshire. The Ouse, too, runs through some 

 part of the county, as does the Welland, and both of 

 them, as well as the other rivers, furnish a good supply 

 of salmon, pike, perch, tench, smelts, lampreys, &c. 

 The Cherwell produces the rud also.
