mon variety, and it reaches to a considerable size. It is called 

 in Germany " Spiegel-karpfe," or mirror-carp, the blotches with large 

 scales being regarded as mirrors. This mule is, I believe, sometimes 

 found in Lancashire. Common carp are very favourite dishes 

 throughout Germany, and many persons with large estates establish 

 carp-ponds, and derive considerable revenue from the proceeds of 

 their sale. 



Of sea-fish I saw none of any kind in the Vienna market, except 

 cod, or " Stockfisch," which is so often represented emblematically 

 upon German houses that I presume it is a sort of national dish. I 

 have often seen over a door-way a rude figure of a fish, with this 

 inscription underneath, — 



" Das Haus steht in Gottes Hant 

 Zum Stockfisch ist's genaunt." 



Inasmuch as the nearest place from which such are obtainable is 

 Trieste, and the railway is not yet completed all the way there, sea- 

 fish is a rare commodity here. I was surprised not to see any Sal- 

 monidae among the finny treasures of this market, since salmon, sal- 

 mon-trout and Hucho are to be obtained at Gmunden, Neusiedler-see, 

 Platten-see, and other similar localities not far distant; but I have 

 seen nothing of the kind, either in the market, in the bills of fare, or 

 on private tables : I can only suppose it was owing to the season. 

 Still the fish -market, although it present not the variety of Pisces 

 which we see at Billingsgate, is worthy of a visit.
