Forehead broad ; the two jaws equal; suout rather pointed; teeth fine and closely set on the jaws, the palatines, and the vomer; these last, in two series, are much smaller than any of those in our common Trout. The back is leaden- coloured, with violet reflections, and covered with rather large, pur- plish spots. There ilre some small brown spots on the dorsal. The pectorals and anal are yellowish. The ventral is white. The caudal, somewhat forked, is grey, without spots. The entire fish is shining silvery. (Valenc) The specimens were caught in the Somme, and are believed to be of a migratory species coming from more northern seas. It ought to be compared with Salmo cnmbricus; the description is so insufficient that, without reexamination of the typical specimens, no opinion can be given as to their affinities. VIII.
