FOOTNOTES
Reading edition
Footnote 1: This word is usually wrongly written ærie, as if derived from aer or air, but I am convinced it comes from the German word ey, an egg.
Footnote 2: These fish in the Murrumbidgee and other rivers sometimes reach the weight of a hundred or a hundred and twenty pounds. They are evidently genuine perch, although the colonists call them river cod.
Footnote 3: The little history of a life here referred to, may be given to the public at a future period, as it is neither uninteresting nor uninstructive; but, for various reasons, it must not be printed at present.
