Note 87 — {23} Thirdly, Of Fishes.[62]
Reading edition
“Taut-auog (sheep’s-heads).” So Roger Williams’s Key, l. c., p. 224. It is probable, therefore, that our author had the fish that we call tautog in his mind here. What is now called sheep’s-head is not known in Massachusetts Bay and northward.—Storer, l. c., p. 36.
