ExpERiENS, The Four Elements, 1519. T^HE Codfish and its allies constitute, from an economical point of view, the most important of all the families of fishes, containing, ^.s it does, a large number of species, most of them of considerable size, distributed throughout all parts of the northern hemisphere, usually found together in great numbers, readily captured, and easily preserved for future use. The codfish is usually found in the North Atlantic, in the North Pacific, and in the Polar Ocean, its range extending far beyond the Arctic Circle. It seems unnecessary to enumerate all the localities in which it has been observed, for its geographical range may be defined with sufficient accu- racy by a much more comprehensive statement. In the Western Atlantic the species occurs in the winter in considerable abundance as far south as the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, lat. 37", and stragglers.
