VEAL. 201 



blotches formed by the darker crossings of the scales; dorsal 

 fin spotted; ventrals with nine rays, caudal nineteen. 



Convictions are not unfrequent, for taking Salmon •with too 

 small a mesh in the open sea, when the only proof has been 

 that the Peal has been thus caught; and that too at the only 

 season when this could be caught, and with the only net that 

 could take it.
