. .-iThc. Lakes .in .Cornwall are but three ; Dofmery Pool yields only
eels; the Swan Pool, near Falmouth, eels very large and good, with
a' mixture of fmall fea-fifli; but the Lo Pool, in Kerrier hundred,
.nourifhes a trout, which deferves more particular notice. O f this
the icon may be feeii with the feveral parts by imealurement, Plate
jcx.v.n Fig.;.x. The eye is large,: the back of a. deep black purple,
■on' which the fcales of a iilver hue; the belly, from the - ftraight
line which paffes from the gills to the middle of the tail, o f a bright
pearl colour. The fpots are hexagonal annulets of a fcarlet colour
in general, butpurplilbonthe back, pierced of the field they Rand
on.-$ (the anterior back-fin has. thirteen fpines, wavy at the top, with
foall tender, points; the pofterior back-fin is entirely cameous,
without any Ipipes; the gill-fins foliaeeous in fhape, with twelve
^faess ;■ the 1 bellyrfin fmall, with nineg lpines^nthe anus-fin nine
fpines: 1 the tail-fin remarkably, large, and very little forked; the
'fkfh very.red>ip;tfieTeafon, and.much eflfeemedl The iahhon-pefe
above-mentioned is very different from this trout, being more cir-
pular ip the feafekrj t the slower mandible rather lpriger than . the
Upper; the belly more filvered; the body deeper, and Ids round ;
the gill-fin and anus-fin lefs in proportion; the helly-fin larger, and
the tail more forkled. This is perhaps a larger fort o f the Jalmulus

I); The fèa is the great ftore-houfe of Cornwall, which offers SE CT. n.

O f the Baleena or whale kind (that I may follow the ufeal order
ofil&hyologifts) we have the blower or fin-fifh (the pbyfeter of
gufchors) fo called by the antients from the quantity o f water which,
from 'its mouth, it blows aloft into the air through a pipe or hole
ill the head adapted to this particular ufe. Baleena edentula corpore

enough to weigh a thouland pounds weight; lb voracious,, that it
will prey upon the porpefle itfelf, though of its own likenels.
