X HE pilchard appears in vast shoals off the 

 Cornish coasts about the middle of July, disap- 

 pearing the beginning of winter, yet sometimes 

 a few return again after Christmas. Their 

 winter retreat is the same with that of the her- 

 ring, and their motives for migrating the same. 

 They affect, during summer, a warmer latitude, 

 for they are not found in any quantities on any 

 of our coasts except those of Cornwall, that is 

 to say, from Fowey harbor to the Scilly isles, 

 between which places the shoals keep shifting 

 for some weeks. 



The approach of the pilchard is known by 

 much the same signs as those that indicate the 

 arrival of the herring. Persons, called in Corn- 

 wall Huers, are placed on the cliffs, to point to 



* That is, Jack Sausage.
