Note 657 — Chapter XVIII · THE NINE FISH MOST HIGHLY PRIZED

Reading edition

The Lamprey, Pride, and Muræna are different fish. They are all engraved in Nash’s book, who lays down that the Muræna is not the lamprey—as indeed a representation (from Herculaneum) of the former done with great exactness serves to establish. See T. D. Fosbroke, Encyl. of Antiq. (London, 1843), p. 1033, and p. 402, figure 3.
