THE SALMON TROUT is, of the migrating species in this 

 country, the next in value to the Salmon. It is most 

 abundant in the rivers of Scotland, and its flesh is excellent. 

 It is distinguished by the gill-cover being intermediate in 

 its form between that of the Salmon and the Grey Trout. 

 The representation on the right hand of the vignette at 

 page 5 is that of the Salmon Trout male. The posterior 

 free margin, it will be observed, is less rounded than that 



* The numbers of the plates are here arranged according to the age of the 

 specimens figured.
