ON THE SPECIES OF CICINDELA AND ELAPHRUS. 169 



side near the tide-way of rivers, to turn their attention to the 

 subject, so that the observations of one person being confirmed 

 by others, the public mind will become convinced, and these 

 fish preserved, as the young of salmon, from indiscriminate 

 destruction. 



I trust I have brought forward sufficient circumstantial 

 evidence, to estabhsh the correctness of my belief, that the 

 samlets are the young of the salmon ; but as we cannot be 

 too cautious in cases of this kind, it is my intention, should 

 my health permit, to visit various parts of Scotland, in 

 the ensuing summer, where, in the numerous rivers of that 

 country, I may possibly pursue the subject further; in that 

 event, I shall be happy to communicate the result of my ob- 

 servations. In the meantime, I would beg to name it as 

 worthy the attention of others, perhaps more capable of judg- 

 ing than myself, that, although Natural History is receiving 

 a large share of attention in all its branches, yet the history 

 of the salmon, in its various stages, appears to me to be very 

 imperfectly understood, though one of the most generally 

 distributed and valuable of our fishes.
