An Account of the Districts of Bihar and Patna in 1811-1812

1925

There are several other animals which the natives refer to this genus : such as the Ghoraroj mentioed in.my account of Bhagalpur ; the Chitra which is probably the Cervus axis; the Kod which is probably the stag; and the Derk which is probably the Cervus muntiac. [...] In the Son indeed the fish is better than that of the Ganges nor have I ever seen fresh-water fish of a quality superior to several kinds of the carp which are caught in that river; but whether from the fish being there scarce or from want of sufficient skill in the fishemen the supply from the Son is trifling. [...] In the Ganges the supply of fish is copious from the middle of October until the y season has swollen the river about the end ol June. [...] In creeks or channels of the river that in the dry season have no current the fish are the property of the owner of the bank; but the number and extent of such in these ditricts is very trifling and disputes about the prperty of the largest in the immediate vicinity of Patna have put a total stop to its being used it not being the duty of any person to interfere. [...] The supply in Patna however from the middle of October to the middle of June is copious there being many fisheries on the north side of the Ganges.
