amount of confusion produced, especially among fishes of the 
Salmon family, by the great variety of names which have been 
applied to each species; or, what is still worse, by the same 
name being applied to several species. Similar to this is the 
case of the Guiniad, in regard to which, and some others that 
are like it, we cannot feel assured in reference to the synonyms 
derived from foreign writers; although in one instance, which 
was an example obtained from Sweden, we entertain no doubt 
of its being the same with the British species; of which the 
name as given above professes a meaning in the ancient language 
of our country, and which continues to be spoken in Wales. It 
designates a fish which is distinguished by the brilliant whiteness 
of its colour; but like all names which are simply descriptive, 
this has also been applied to other species in that country; and 
especially to the Sewen, and also to a younger condition of 
the Common Salmon; from all of which however the real 
Guiniad may be easily distinguished. 
The Guiniad is known over a large portion of the alpine or
