Note 864 — Chapter XXVII · FISHERIES—ATTEMPTED CORRELATION OF THE PRICE OF FISH THEN AND NOW—SPAWNING

Onomasticon, VI. 48. A primitive method of curing prevailed in the last century among the Yapoos—“the fisher then bites out a large piece of the fish’s belly, takes out the inside, and hangs the fish on a stick by the fire in his canoe.” See Darwin, Voyages of Adventure, etc. (London, 1839), p. 428.
