8(5 BROAD GWINIAD. 



entering the rivers at the time of spawning, and forc- 

 ing its way up the most violent streams, generally 

 advancing in two ranges, and forming in front an 

 acute angle, the whole being conducted by a single 

 fish. The largest specimen mentioned by Mr. 

 Pennant weighed between three and four pounds, 

 its general weight being much less, and its length 

 from ten to twelve inches. I must not omit to ob- 

 serve that it may be doubted whether the Gwlniad 

 of Mr. Pennant be not rather the S. Wartmamii of 

 Bloch than the present species. 



BROAD GWINIAD. 



Salmo Rostratus. S. fusco-cceruh'sccm , Hneis tongitudinaKbus 



subfusds, squamis rotundafis, rustro nasiformi. 

 Dusky-blueish Salmon, with longitudinal dusky streaks, rounded 



scales, and nose-like snout. 

 Salmo Thymallus latus. Block, t. 2(5. 

 Salmo Lavaretus /3. Lin. Gmel. 



GREATLY allied to the preceding in general ap- 

 pearance, so as readily to pass for a variety at 

 most, but is of a larger size, and a somewhat 

 broader shape : the scales are perfectly rounded, 

 without the slight sinking in which takes place on 

 the middle of those of the former species : the mouth 

 is larger and more transverse; and the sides of the 

 body are marked by grey or blueish stripes, which 

 are not visible on the preceding species. The 

 weight of the Broad Gwiniad is from four pounds 

 to four and a half. It is found in the Baltic, and 

 in the rivers of some parts of Germany, Sweden, &c.
