maycush), and the California salmon (Salmo quinnat). I doubt much if 

 any of the above are better sporting or edible fish than our own Salmo 

 salar. I may here add that the association is now prepared to distrib- 

 ute whitefish fry, and any one wishing for some should apply at once at 

 South Kensington. Doubtless some of the large Scotch or Irish lakes 

 would be suitable to them. Lord Exeter has had a number of the fry 

 taken to Burleigh Park. Up to the present they appear to be doing 

 well, and eventually it is proposed to turn them into the large lake. 

 The MacLaine, of Lochbuy, also contemplates turning a number into 

 some of his lakes in the north."
