blow over the lake, and which are apt to
prove disagTeeable. One is called the tirasso;
it rises in the morning and blows from
north to south. The other is the breva; it
blows from the opposite direction, and
makes itself felt in the afternoon. The
waters of the lake contain twenty-five
species of fish, and one OF them is highly
esteemed fos eating. 1t is called the agone
and is a fresh-water herring. Baked or
broiled with oil or salt, it is delicious dish.
The lake trout are also not TO be despised,
and some of them weigh as much as six
pounds. Perch, eels, brooches. tench and
lampreys are also caught in Lake Como.
