MENES

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 129 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MENES , the, name of the founder of the 1st Dynasty of historical kings of
Egypt
 . He appears at the head of the lists not only in Herodotus and
Manetho
 , but also in the native Turin Papyrus of Kings and the lists of Abydos, while the
list
 
in use. The Indians and white settlers used it as a manure, and the name is Narragansett for " fertilizer." Its scientific name is Clupea (or Alosa) menhaden and Brevoortia tyrannus. It is allied to the European species of
shad
  and pilchard, and, like the latter, approaches the
coast
  in immense shoals, which are found throughout the year in some part of the littoral waters between Maine and Florida, the northern shoals retiring into deeper water or to more southern latitudes with the approach of cold weather. The
average
  size of the menhaden is about 12 in. It is too bony and oily for a table-fish, but is used as bait for cod and mackerel. A large
fleet
  is engaged in the fishery; and a
great
  number of factories extract the oil for tanning and currying, and for adulterating other more expensive oils, and manufacture the refuse into a valuable guano.
