HE falmon is a northern fifh, being unknown 
in the Mediterranean fea, and other warm 
climates : it is found in France in fome of the rivers 
that empty themfelves into the ocean*, and north as 
far as Greenland; whether it reaches America we are 
not at this time affured : Charlevoix, Laufon, and 
Catefby do not mention it ; nor have we any authority 
for its being found there, except that of the romantic 
Labontan. Salmons are taken in the rivers of Kamt- 
fchatka**, but whether they are of the fame fpecies 
with the European kind is not very certain.
