Baluc. This writer also figures, and describes the Brosme* in a 
manner so far correct at least, as to leave no doubt of its being 
the same as the Torsk of Scotland: the latter species, he observes, 
connects the Gadus with the Blennius genus, and is. from its re- 
semblance to the Blenny, called Brosme by the fishermen; that 
being the name by which the Blenny is generally distinguished 
amongst them; We have also the authority of Bloch to shew, that 
the Gadus Callarias is the Torsk of the Baltic, and the Brosme a 
different fish. 
The result of those remarks will be sufficient to prove that the

the Totsk of the other northern parts of Europe, and that the 
Scotch Torsk is beyond a doubt the Btosme of those countries.
