CHAPTER III
57/59

The _ottonneebees_, (Coregonus Artedi,) closely resembles the last.

Three species of carp, (Catastomus Hudsonius, C.Forsterianus, and C.Lesueurii,) are also found abundantly in all the lakes, their Cree names are _namaypeeth_, _meethquawmaypeeth_, and _wapawhawkeeshew_.

The _occow_, or river perch, termed also horn-fish, piccarel, or dore, is common, but is not so much esteemed as the attihhawmeg.

It attains the length of twenty inches in these lakes.

The methy is another common fish; it is the _gadus lota_, or burbot, of Europe.
