366 LINNjEAN ARRANGEMENT 



S. Salmulus, Samlet. Chap. iv. page 67. 



Bluish-gray Salmon, with distant reddish spots and 

 forked tail. 



Note. Pennant seems to have established this as a 

 distinct species, and not the fry of the Salmon, which 

 some have supposed. One conclusive reason amongst 

 others, is, that they are furnished with roes, and are 

 therefore to be considered as full-grown fishes. A si- 

 milar inference may be made with respect to the 

 White-Bait of the Thames.
