along the side is more distinct in the grayling than in 

 the pollan. Thirdly, the pollan has not the pear or 

 lozenge-shaped eye of the grajding, nor the large and 

 very remarkable fin which distinguishes the grayling. • 

 Both possess the adipose fin ; the grayling belongs to 

 the genus Salmo, the other to the Coregoniis. The x^ollan 

 does not take a bait." 



This fish is also found in Loughs Erne, Derg, and 

 Corrib. 



In the spring of the year pollan are often mistaken 

 for young salmon, and have been reported to Mr. 

 Walpole and myself as such. 



I am told they are found in most of the lakes of 

 Austria and Bavaria.
