SALMON FISHING. _ 147 
females: Shedders, or ““Bageits. - The History of the 
Salmon-Trout and other migratory Salmonide has 
never been quite so decidedly established ; but in many 
points it certainly, and in most others probably, is nearly 
identical with that of the Salmon. The colours of the 
Salmon-Trout and Bull-Trout before or after spawning 
are also nearly the same as those of the Salmon, and 
their condition may be ascertained accordingly. 
The above names may perhaps be conveniently 
presented in a tabular form :—
