SALMO. 
A LARGE portion of the upper jaw formed by the mystache, which 
has teeth along its edge; teeth also on the intermaxillary bones, round 
the palate and in front of it; a double row on the middle line or 
vomer, and on the tongue. Ventral fins abdominal, opposite the middle

The Salmon’s praises to my verse belong, 
King of the streams and glory of our song. 
He claims the rivers and ho claims the seas, 
Those for his summer's joys, his winter's these. 
Now in the storm he stems the mountain waves. 
And now the thundering cataract he braves; 
Tivy or Wear; when remeant from the deep. 
Renew’d in vigour he essays the leap; 
Then springing with a bound surmounts the height. 
Dashes the foam and glories in his might.

Among the fishes of usual occurrence in the British Islands 
there does not exist a family of which the minuter particulars 
of its Natural History, or even the precise distinction of species, 
is so little agreed on as that of the Salmon; and this state of 
Ignorance, whether in scientific observers or in fishermen, is the 
niore to be wondered at, as all the species are known to pass 
a large portion of their lives at no great distance from places 
of human resort; where also they have been long the subject
