Brān'lin, n.

n. [Scot. brantle, brannock; from brand, q. v., probably on account of the dark-colored marks on the sides of this fish, resembling those burned by a brand-iron.] (Ichth.) A species of fish of the salmon kind, found in rapid streams:—in some places called the jingry, from five or six black lines or marks on each side resembling fingers.
