The flat Fish Acaraiou hath the length of a Foot, a green Head, thick Scales, a yellow Back, and white Belly.
The Araououa hath a hard Skin, is eight times bigger than the Acaraiou and hath a three-pointed Sword, with which it kills other Fish.
Another sort of Sword-fish is the Panapans, whose Sword is a Foot less than that of the Araououa.
The Picamo and Caramourou resemble the Pilchard, and are taken in great abundance near the Rocks.
The Rivers and Brooks on Maragnan are also very full of Fish, amongst which the Pourake, four Foot long, full of green, blue, red and white Specks and Streaks, the Skin so hard that no Sword can penetrate it; wherefore it regards not a blow, but if it moves, it causes such a pain on the Arm of him that strikes, that he falls down on the Ground.
The Caurimata, which is very like a Carp, is the most delicious Fish that ever was tasted.
The Pyrain, without Scales, colour’d red and yellow, hath sharp Teeth, which cut sloapingly; as also the Opean, Tarehure, Paraty, and Jerou.
The red Crabs Oussa, with hairy Legs, breed about the Roots of the fore-mention’d Trees that grow in the Water.
The white Crabs Aouara-oussa carry the Amber-greece, cast on the Shores to their Holes.
They have also good Mussles, and well rellish’d Oysters sticking on the Boughs of the said Trees.
