¶ Of Yeeles.

YEeles liue 8 yeares. And if the North wind blow, they abide aliue without water 6 daies, but not so long in a Southern wind. But yet in Winter time they may not endure to be [unspec F] in a little water, nor if it be thick and muddy: wherupon, about the rising of the star Vir∣giliae they be commonly taken, for that the riuers about that time vse to be troubled. Their feeding most commonly is in the night. Of all fish, they alone, if they be dead, flote not aboue the water.
