According to Mr. Yar- rel, this fish is distinguished from the common salmon by the gill-cover, which differs in the following points : The line of union of the operculum with the s...ub-opcrculum and the inferior margin of the sub-operculum, is oblique, forming a considerable angle with the axis of the body of the first. The posterior edge of the pre-operculum is rounded, not sinuous. The teeth are also more slender and numerous. The flesh of this fish is very similar in flavor and color to that of the common salmon, with which it is very gen- erally confounded ; and the two are sold indiscriminately by the fishmongers as ordinary salmon. In habits, haunts, &c. , they are also alike.
