FISH HOOKS OF NEW SOUTH WALES. 
Fig. A. reprefents a hook of the fame fize, formed of a 
hard black wood-like fubftance, neatly executed, and 
finifhed with a fmall knob to aflift in faftening it to the line; / 
it is well mounted: the line confifts of two ftrands very 
evenly laid, and twifted hard ; made with a grafly fubftance 
dark in colour, and nearly as fine as raw filk : the length 
of it is fhewn by the top of the rod being broken off. 
Fig. B. is a hook of mother of pearl, formed by an internal 
volute of fome fpiral fhell, affifted by grinding it a little on 
one fide only : the point of this hook, as well as of the for- 
mer, feems, to an European, to turn fo much as to render 
them almoft ufelefs.
