Porpoise Cod Mackerel Herring. 2 7 



Now I shall show you a picture of a porpoise. 



38. The porpoise is an animal very much like 

 the seal, but it has not fur like the seal. In size, 

 each resembles a large hog. Leather is made of 

 its skin, and oil of its fat. 



Trout. Pike. 



Codfish. Cuttle-fish. 



39. Can you mention some kinds of fish that 

 are caught in salt water and are used for food ? 

 Cod, mackerel, herring. These are caught in 

 immense numbers near the coasts, and, when 

 salted and cured, they are sent to all parts of 

 the world. Famous fishing grounds are off the 

 coasts of Maine, Massachusetts, Labra- 

 dor, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland, 

 which I now point out on the map. Is New- 

 foundland surrounded by water? What is it, 

 therefore? An Island. By what water is it 

 surrounded? Mention other kinds of fishes. 



SPELL AND DEFINE Porpoise, leather, cod, 

 mackerel, herring, Maine, New'foundland.
