the farther end when tlie Water draws, off, there

Bafons or Cauldrons^ which are not all of the fame depth 
or breadth,, the breadth of them being from 20 to 6q

In the Months of Jmcy Julyy znd Jugufiy when this 
Lake begins to draw off, it grows quite drie in 25 Days, 
if no great Rains intervene. And the aforefaid 18 Pitts, 
are all emptied one after the other, in a certain and ne-

When the Lake begins to fink, which appears by a 
certain Scone which theyobferve, the Inhabitants of the 
Town called Oberdorffor Seedorfy give Notice thereof to 
all the Neighbouring Fiihermen, that are appointed by: 
the feveral Lords having Right in this Filliing. The 
]PeopIe of this Town have Orders not only to watch the 
falling away of the Water, but likewife to take care that 
no body prefume to Fifh in the Lake when it is full of 
Watery that being forbidden : & that theie are as it were 
the Keepers of the Lake*
