PEAL. 
!eo7 
blotches formed by the darker crossings of the scales; dorsal 
fin spotted; ventrals with nine rays, caudal nineteen. 
Convictions are not unfrequent, for taking Salmon with too 
small a mesh in the open sea, when the only proof has been 
that the Peal has been thus caught; and that too at the only 
season when this could be caught, and with the only net that 
could take it.
