They bite eagerly, and are assembled by raking the bed of the river ; to this spot they immediately crowd in shoals, expecting food from this disturbance. The shape of the body is thick and round ; the irides tinged with red, the gill covers with green and silver. The lower jaw is shorter than the upper ; at each comer of the mouth is a single beard ; the back olive, spotted with black ; the side line straight ; the sides beneath that silvery ; the belly white. The tail is forked ; that, as wel...l as the dorsal fin, is spotted with black. THE BREAM Is an article of great importance on the Continent, in Eu- rope, though its flesh is not equal to that of the carp. It is found in all the great lakes, and in rivers which have a gentle current, and a bottom composed of marl, clay, and herbage ; and it abides in the deepest parts. It is taken mostly under the ice ; and this fishery is so considerable that, in some of the lakes belonging to Prussia, there have been taken to the value of two hundred pounds at a time ; they are also caught in great quantities in Holstein, Mecklenburg, Livonia, and Sweden : in a lake near Nord- kiceping, there were taken at one time in March, 1749, no less than fifly thousand, weighing eighteen thousand two hundred pounds.
