Abstract
MY attention has been directed to your comments, on page 547 of NATUBE of Oct. 6, on my collection of local and general names applied to salmon and sea trout. The article to which reference is made was merely an attempt in the first place to clear up some of the superfluities of popular nomenclature and local idiosyncrasy, which you rightly condemn; and secondly, to collate and preserve them in the interests of philology. Whilst admitting that the list would have been much increased in value had the area in which each name is used been indicated, it is regretted that this would not be feasible, owing to the fact that many of the terms are used in the same sense through out the country.
