FisH. 
Mr. P, Jackway, an expert fisherman at Blackfellows’ Caves, supplied in answer 
to our inquiries the following information as to what fish could be speared by 
the natives on the reefs or in shallow water, or could be caught in nets or otherwise 
from the shore, The lengths and weights given are his and are probably only ap- 
proximate, but they indicate whether the fish concerned was likely to supply a good 
deal of food. One of the most common of the fishes probably was the eel, which 
doubtless could be secured in considerable numbers when they were making for 
the sea after the first heavy rains. 
Fishes that could be speared from. the Reefs, ete. :
