always enjoys the sport, than which nothing can 

 give him so perfect a relish for a finely curdled 

 slice of the fish. 



In the following list of the different species, as 

 they are generally considered, of the SALMO, found 

 in the rivers and lakes of Britain, the Genus is 

 divided into three sections : 1 . TRUTT\E, with teeth 

 numerous and well defined. 2. COREGONI, with teeth 

 small or scarcely perceptible. 3. OSMERI, with the 

 greater dorsal and the anal fin nearly opposite. 

 The first may be regarded as consisting of different 

 families of one great house having a common ancestor, 

 and the head of which is the salmon proper. The 

 second may be looked on as of kin to the first, but 

 as having lost their pedigree ; and the third as a 

 kind of humble and questionable relation, but in 

 whom the badge of the tribe is however to be found 

 in the little mort fin which he wears above his tail.
