BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 17 



[The " method" is one adopted "at a small country town" near 

 Norwich, wherein worms, enclosing a thorn, are attached by threads, 

 " in hundreds," to the bushes overhanging a stream, for the purpose 

 of catching small fish. Mr. Arderon, by constantly changing the 

 water, kept fish "for years" in glass jars for the purpose of observing 

 their habits and faculties. In continuation of the subject the same 

 volume (pp. 424-8), contains a paper "On the Banstickleor prickle- 

 bag alias pricldeback and on fish in general;" vol. xlv., pp. 149-155, 

 one "On the hearing of fish;" and again at pp. 321-3, a record of 

 his observations on a mortification in the tails of roaches kept 

 in confinement, with figures of a fish with Saprolegnia ferax (?) well 

 developed, and also of the filaments of the fungoid growth 

 magnified. His observations on the pugnacity and voracity of the 

 stickleback, and on the senses and affections o"f fish anticipate more 

 recent observers and prove him a pioneer in this field of research. 

 Vol. xliv., also contains a paper by the same writer (p. 395), "On 

 the perpendicular ascent of eels."]
