Mr. T. C. Eyton on the Fauna of Shropshire. 27 



Leuciscus Cephalus, Flem. (Chub.) Common in the rivers of 

 Shropshire, but not that I am aware of ever found in North Wales. 

 Leuciscus Erythrophthalmus, Cuv. (Red-eye Chub.) Found, but 

 not so commonly as the roach and dace, in Salop. 



Leuciscus Alburnus, Cuv. (Bleak.) Not uncommon in the Severn 

 near Shrewsbury. My specimens were obtained in the spring from 

 small brooks running into that river, in company with minnows and 

 small gudgeons. 



Leuciscus Phoxinus, Cuv. (Minnow.) Common : I have a spe- 

 cimen from the North Forest wanting the nasal projection. 



Cobitis barbatula, Linn. (Loach.) Common in Shropshire, but 

 not observed in North Wales. 



Esox Lucius, Linn. (Pike.) In Shropshire common, but not in- 

 digenous in North Wales. 



Salmo Salar, Linn. (Salmon.) Ascends most of the rivers of 

 North Wales and the Severn to spawn. 



Salmo Trutta, Linn. (Salmon Trout and Sewen.) Found in the 

 Islwyth and Conway. 



Salmo Salmulus, Will. (Samlet.) Found in the Severn and in 

 most of the rivers of North Wales. 



Salmo Fario, Linn. (Common Trout.) Common : several va- 

 rieties are found in the Welsh lakes, which at first sight might be 

 taken for species ; but upon a minute examination and dissection, I 

 am convinced to the contrary ; three different varieties are found in 

 Dyner alone. 



Salmo Salvelinus, Don. (Welsh Char.) Found in the following 



lakes of Wales, Corsygeddol, Llanberris, Llyn Quellyn near Snowdon, 



and Edna, a lake on the hills between Capel Cerrig and Bedgellert. 



Osmerus Eperlanus, Flem. (Smelt.) Found in the Conway and 



Dee. 



Thymallus vulgaris, Will. (Grayling.) Found in Severn, Team, 

 and Clan in Shropshire. I am not aware of its occurrence in North 

 Wales. 



Salmo Lavaretus, Penn. (Groymad.) Found in abundance in 

 Rala Pool. 



Scopelus Humboldti, Cuv. (Argentine.) Pennant mentions a spe- 

 cimen taken near Downing. 



Clupea Harengus, Linn. (Herring.) Taken in abundance on the 

 Welsh coast. 



Clupea alba, Yarrell. (White Bait.) The only locality I know 

 of for this fish in the district, is in the Murdoch, a river running into 

 the sea at Barmouth.
