Lug, which flows through the next valley, 

 in Herefordshire, many grayling are found. 

 In the Dee, as I have said before, 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, — and in the 

 south, the Ure, the Wharfe, the Humber, the 

 Derwent, and the streams that form it, par- 

 ticularly the Rye. There may be some other 

 localities of this fish unknown to me ; but as I 

 have fished much, and inquired much respect-

 information tolerably correct and complete.

Phys. — Of course the grayling is taken in
