APPENDIX XVIII. 



GENERAL NOTE. 



a Petrus Andreas Matthiolus, of Sienna, an eminent physician 

 of the sixteenth century. 



PRACTICAL ESSAY. 



MINNOWS 



are not without scales, as Walton asserts, although the scales are 

 of course very minute. To catch them for bait, a clear glass bottle 

 of this shape 



with a piece of muslin tied over the neck, and a few crumbs of 

 bread inside, may be placed in the water with its neck up stream. 

 The minnows get in through the hole at the bottom, and cannot 

 find the way out again, when you haul it up with a string.
