THE COMPLETE ANGLER. 3OQ 



Note. Pennant seems to have established this as a distinct 

 species, and not the fry of the Salmon, which some have sup- 

 posed. One conclusive reason amongst others is, that they are 

 furnished with roes, and are therefore to be considered as full- 

 grown fishes. A similar inference may be made with respect to 

 the White- Bait of the Thames.
