With an approach to the same form and organization with 
the Cod, the Haddock comes near to it also in its habits; but 
although equally dispersed over the world, it is for the most 
part in less numbers. It is observable also that this fish is 
disposed to observe a partial and limited migration or change 
of quarters, with a somewhat loose arrangement of the multi- 
tudes that observe it. Such is the case in a remarkable 
degree on the coast of Scotland; and also on a portion of the 
coast of Yorkshire, where there is a bank which extends for 
about eighty miles, but in breadth scarcely exceeding three, 
where in the winter they are caught in large numbers; but 
on either side of these limits at the same time none are taken. 
It is also found in abundance in America, on the borders of 
Massachusetts; but it so little afiPects the society of the Cod, 
that on the banks oi Newfoundland, when a fisherman succeeded 
in taking upwards of five hundred and fifty Cods in one day, 
he took no more than two Haddocks at the same time. 
In their periodical assemblings at their favourite stations on 
our coasts they appear to be influenced by a common feeling, 
which may be of the same nature as that which prompt"
