1 . f I H E Salmon. Salmo vulgaris. Salanx Grec . Salmo 

 X Lat. Saulmon Gallic. Minfh Hifp. It is faid to re- 

 ceive its name a Saltando, from leaping ; others, a Sale, it being fo 

 frequently pickled: yet many countries call them by different 

 names, according to their age or feafon ; as, in Switzerland and 

 on the Rhine, from the fpring to St. James's day, they call it 

 Salm ; and from thence to St. Andrew's, the end of November, 

 Lachs : In Yorkfhire, the firft year they are called a Smelt, Sam- 

 let, or Bradlin ; the next, Sprods ; the third, Morts ; the fourth, 

 Fork-Tails; and the fifth, Half-Fifh, being then half grown, 

 though fome come to full growth in lefs time, and are then called 

 Salmons, fome of which have been faid to weigh above pounds. 



They copulate belly to belly in frefh rivers, whither they 

 come before autumn to fpawn : it is faid they cover their eggs in 

 fand, and when hatched they grow incredible in a month's time, 

 and after that they carry them to fea. 



In Gloucefter and Worcefter rivers they are very plenty, lo- 

 ving large fwift waters, which ebb and flow : Thames has a fhare 

 of them. 



They feed on dew-worms, minnoes, loaches, and other lit- 

 tle fifh : his belt ground-bait is a great garden or lob-worm, and 

 fometimes oak-worms, dub-flies, cod and clap-baits : he alfo ta- 

 keth the artificial fly ; but he muft be large, great-winged, with a 

 long tail, refembling the adderbolt or dragon-fly, which he will 

 alfo take ; but you muft ufe a trowl, (as for the pike) for being a 

 ftrongfifh, he will hazard your line, except you give him length. 

 His chiefeft feafon of biting is from May to Auguft, at nine in the 

 morning and three in the afternoon, in a clear water, and when 

 the wind bloweth againll the ftream. It is a wonderful fweet fifh, 

 of extraordinary nourifhmcnt, and a great reftorative in confump- 

 tions.

 Chiepa, Italis ; Clofe, Gallis ; at Bourdeaux, Coulac ; Laccia, at 

 Rome; in Spain, Saboga ; and by the Dutch, Meyvifh: by the 

 Greeks, Thriffa a tricon Cdpillus, becaufe its bones are fmall like 

 hair, or the beard v awns in wheat and other corn.
