The Snig eel (Anguilla mediorostris) is best fitted for the table. Its cervical vertebrae are without the processes found in the first-named species and in the Broad-nosed eel (Anguilla latirostris) . The eel-fishery is conducted in various ways. Weirs and dykes are erected across streams, with baskets, or bucks, as they are called, fixed in them, to entrap the eels in the course of their passage. These bucks are of a con- siderable size, and shaped like a jar, in the mouth of which a funnel-sh...aped osier apparatus, constructed on the principle of a mouse-trap, is securely fitted. The eels readily force their way into the interior, but on attempt- ing to return find the entrance closed against them. " Eel-pots " are also used. These are made like the bucks, but are not so strong or large. They are sunk, by means of stones, in the favourite " runs " of the eels, among the reeds or near the banks, and in this way scores are cap- tured. . They are also taken by " night-lines. " The angler provides himself with a long stout line, to one end of which he fastens a heavy weight, and the other he secures to a post or stake on the border of the stream.
