This form has been deemed a distinct species, principally due to its com- 

 paratively small head and rather elongated body : while its preopercle has hardly 

 any lower limb. Among four examples in the British Museum from Dr. Parnell's 

 collection, that ichthyologist considered the largest as S. eriox, and the remaining 

 three as S. fario. It is the short-headed race of salmon-trout, mostly found on 

 the east coast of Scotland and in the Ouse : Jardine states also, in the Solway 

 Firth. The example figured was 14 inches long. 



This variety was known as the White salmon- (Pennant), Salmo albus (Artedi), 

 S. phinoc (Turton), S. brachypoma (Gunther); but by the majority of recent 

 authors is placed as a synonym to S. trutta. Pennant described his white salmon 

 from the Esk in Cumberland, where he observed that it was found from July 

 until September, that it never exceeded a foot in length, and that " this is the 

 fish called by the Scots Fhinoc." Fleming also termed it the " Whitling, Hiding, 

 common in the sea and rivers of Scotland and the north of England," and that it 

 spawned in August and September. Jardine figured it, pi. iii, as Salmo albus, 

 Fleming, the young of a migratory trout, but not identical with the bull-trout of 

 the Tweed. It is locally known as herling or hirling, whiting, phinock, moudie- 

 trouf, silvenvhite, and blaelrtail, in different Scotch districts. It was about this
