STOMACH OF THE CODFISH.
The stomachic powers of the shark and the OBtrich are considerable ; but the codfish's can snatch them. Inside a codfish caught off Plamborough were found a wooden doll six incheß long, with a woollen dress. In another waß found a pair of spectacles, quite whole and sound. A third codfish had a coral neoklace in him. From the stomach of a fifth were taken " fiftynine hooks, baited with whelks, but no snoods (strings) attached to them." The fish, perhaps, had digested the string, bnt needed more time for the fifty-nine hooks.
