riALVIANUS imagines this fifh to have been 

 the Squalus * of the antients, and grounds his 

 opinion on a fbppoied error in a certain pafTage 

 in Columella and Varro^ where he would fubftitute 

 the word Squahis inflead of Scarus :. Columella fays 

 no more than that the old Romans payed much 

 attention to their flews, and kept even the fea fifli 

 in frefh water, paying as much refpecl to the 

 Mullet and Scarus as thofe of hia days did to the 

 Murana and Bafs, 



That the Scarus was not our Chuh^ is very evi- 

 dent ; not only becaufe the Chub is entirely an in- 

 habitant of frefh waters, but likewife it feems im- 

 probable that the Romans would give themfelves 



* A cartilaginous fifh, a fhark. Vide Plin. lib. IX. c. 24, 

 O-x'/V alio ranks his Squalus with the fea fifh.
