534 VERTEBRATE FAUNA OF LAKELAND 



several trouts and young lampreys had not time to save them- 

 selves, but were found the next morning frozen to death. Of 

 the former, eye-witnesses can speak to fifteen, of the latter two 

 hundred, all which were found in the extent of no more than 

 forty yards ; and several dozens of young lampreys were easily 

 taken up alive by the hand, in the shallows. 



N.B. — The trouts in general were small, the lampreys about 

 ten inches or a foot long.' 1
