"pORPESSES fwarm {rom Hudfon's Bay to Carolina,, ^.nd haunt 

 the creeks in purfuit of herrings and other filli ; vaft numbers are 

 taken near Petite Riviere, in the river St. Lazvrence, from the end of 

 September to the beginning of November, when they are in queft of the 

 eels, which in thofe months afcend the river in vaft multitudes. The 

 inhabitants ufe this method : — they place boughs of trees, with their 

 leaves on, in a curved form from the fhore, during low water. The 

 PorpeflTes, which get above them at high water, and attempting to re- 

 turn at the ebb, are terrified with the ruftling of the leaves, and, hefi- 

 tating to proceed for fear of a fnare being left for them, continue fo 

 long fwimming confufedly backward and forward, as at length to be 

 left on the bottom, fo become an eafy prey at low water.
