HE flounder inhabits every part of the Brz- 
tifo fea, and even frequents our rivers at a 
ereat diftance from the falt waters; and for this rea- 
fon fome writers call it the Paffer fluviatilis. It ne-

fize to the plaife, for we never heard of any that 
weighed more than fix pounds. 
It may very eafily be diftinguifhed from the plaife, Defers 
or any other fith of this genus, by a row of fharp 
fmall fpines that furround its upper fides, and are
