of the sealers. Pectorals yellow or orange coloured, with 
dark bases ; scales faintly fan -streaked ; last rays of dorsal and 
anal elongated. Faint oblong, orange-coloured spots on 
the sides, not in vertical rows. 64 Rays, D. 9-16; A.

in the summer time, but far inferior to the Salmo solar. It 
congregates in vast shoals, and pursues the fry of other fishes 
in shallow bays, but never enters fr. sh-water. It is often 
taken of from seven to ten pounds weight. It affords excel- 
lent sport to the angler. The specimen was caught by the 
hook from my own door on the 4th May, 1841.
