Note: The following text is taken from a 19th-century collection catalog and, in its language and perspective, partially reflects colonial thought patterns. We present the text in its original version to make the collection's history transparent and promote a critical examination of the colonial legacy. Certain terms and formulations may be perceived as problematic today. A 2009 research project concluded that most descriptions are factually correct and still usable; only a few details were found to be inaccurate or incorrect. The results of this project were published in the following collection catalog: khm-wmw-tm-library.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1457155265"281. Net - "Lanra".A cloth made from plant fibres which has a very coarse mesh; about one meter wide, which is used as a fishing net. Usually used for catching large fish, where large parts of a shallow water are closed off, even whole rivers across their breadth, and the fish are "driven" together from all sides so that they can be caught in these variously small and large nets."Translation of: Czurda, F.
