GRAYLING RIVERS. 185 



in Wiltshire. I know of no river containing 

 them on the north coast west of the Severn : 

 there are very few only in the upper part of 

 this river, and in the tributary streams which 

 form it in North Wales. There are a few 

 in the Wye and its tributary streams. In 

 the Lug, which flows through the next 

 valley, in Herefordshire, many grayling 

 are found. In the Dee, as I have said be- 

 fore, they are found, but are not common. 

 In Derbyshire and Staffordshire, the Dove, 

 the Wye, the Trent, and the Blithe, afford 

 grayling; in Yorkshire, on the north coast, 

 some of the tributary streams of the Ribble, 

 the Erne, and the Wharf; and in the south 

 of Yorkshire, the Humber, the Derwent, 

 and its tributary streams, particularly the 

 Rye. There may be some other localities 

 of this fish unknown to me; but as I have 

 fished much, and inquired much respecting 

 the places where it is found, I think my 

 information tolerably correct and complete. 



Phys. — Is this fish to be fished for in 

 spring ? 



Hal. — He is to be fished for at all times,
