‘The flesh of Hindustan fishes is very savoury; they have no odour. They are surprisingly active. On one occasion, when people coming had flung a net across a stream, leaving its two edges half a yard (45 cm) above the water, most fish passed by leaping a yard (90 cm) above it. In many rivers are little fish which fling themselves a yard or more out of the water if there be harsh noise or sound of feet.
