ALTHOUGH the fifh we find in the eafl are generally 

 more diftinguifhed for their beauty and variety of 

 colours, or for their uncouth forms, rather than for the 

 goodnefs of the fifh itfelf, this before us appears to be an ex- 

 ception ; though it is not without Angularities, yet its form 

 and colour are very fimple, and, for the elegance of its tafte, 

 may vie with any fifh caught in any river which runs 

 either into the Mediterranean or Ocean. Whether it is the 

 Latus, or the Oxyrinchus of antiquity, both fifties of the 

 Nile, {o famous that divine honours were paid them, by 

 large cities, nomes, or diflridts fituated upon that river, is 

 what I am not naturaiiil enough to difcover. Such as it 

 is, in all its pans, I have placed it before the reader faith- 

 fully.
