TRIGLA. 
Piper. T. Lyra.—In some seasons this fish is rare, in others they 
abound. 
Elleck. T. Cucutus. —This is always common. 
Grey Gurnard. T. Gurnardus.—Fishes of this genus usually 
keep near the ground; but this species will mount to the 
surface over a considerable depth of water, and lie basking 
in the sun as if dead. At particular periods they abound 
in an extraordinary degree. 
ABDOMINAL FISHES. 
SALMO. 
Salmon. S. Salar.—This fish, and indeed most others that fre- 
quent fresh waters, are in greater plenty in the eastern than 
in the western parts of this county ; which seems to arise 
from the quantity of mineral substances that are thrown into 
the rivers. 
Salmon Trout. S. Trutta.—This sometimes takes a bait at sea, 
which I believe the Salmon and Salmon Peal never do. 
Palmer Trout. S. Salmulus.—This is not a common fish, but is 
found in the Trelawny river, a branch of the Looe. It is 
the Farthing Trout of Carew. 
Common Trout or Shote. S. Fario.—This fish sports in innu- 
merable varieties, as might be expected, when it is consi- 
dered that any peculiarity which may arise is liable to be 
propagated through the river in which it occurs; for they 
have no opportunity of obliterating it by mixing with the 
fish of any other river than their own. |
