4. Sea 

 Trout. 



XHIS species migrates like the salmon up 

 several of our rivers; spawns, and returns to 

 the sea. That, which I describe, was taken in 

 the Tweed below Berwick in June 1 769. 



The shape was more thick than that of the Descrip- 

 common trout; the weight was three pounds 

 two ounces. The irides were silvery ; the head 

 thick, smooth, and dusky, with a gloss of blue 

 and green ; the back of the same color, which 

 grows fainter towards the side line; the back 

 plain, but the sides as far as the lateral line 

 marked with large distinct, irregularly shaped 

 spots of black ; the lateral line strait ; the sides 

 beneath the line, and the belly white ; the tail 

 broad, and even at the end. The dorsal fin had 

 twelve rays ; the pectoral fourteen ; the ventral 

 nine ; the anal ten.
