the case of mullet he admits some close connection or occasional confu- 

 sion with young Queriman. I may add however that considering the 

 difference in the size of the scales of Queriman, even when small, and those 

 of the fish usually called mullet it is not easy to see how they can be

 are usually on sale in Xew Amsterdam, they do not appear in the 

 Georgetown list given above, but may be identical with some. The Sea 

 Congo caught on Corentyne Coast is often a very delicious fish, but in 

 New Amsterdam waters it seems to lose some of its delicate flavour. 



Lukanani is practically never seen in this market, and ' Sardines ' 

 and silverbaii are not known by these names, but doubtless some of the 

 small fish used by the people may be identical with the fish so marketed. 



The Canje Creek of course swarms with Cuffum. Perai. Lukanani 

 and Jew fish, sometimes of enormous size. The three first named haunt 

 the higher reaches and are seldom caught near the mouth. 



The Pacu is known as Family fish : for what reason I cannot say. 



Sharpnoses bear the name of Sword fish locally and Saw fish are 

 known as Comb fish.
