306 SALMONIA. 



gang-fisch, from the Lake of Constance, which 

 was of a bluer colour, but, I think decidedly, 

 only a variety of the same fish, was 7| inches 

 long and 4 in girth, had 12 spines in the 

 dorsal fin, 1 5 in the pectoral, 1 1 in the ventral, 

 12 in the anal, and 18 in the caudal. A la- 

 veret, from the Traun See, had 1 2 spines in 

 the dorsal fin, 17 in the pectoral, 13 in the 

 ventral fin, 12 in the anal fin, and 24 in the 

 caudal fin. One from the Hallstadt See was 

 a larger and broader fish, but did not differ 

 from the laveret of the Traun See, except in 

 having two spines less in the tail. 



PoiET. — Is this fish ever taken with the 

 line? 



Hal. — I believe only with nets. It feeds 

 on vegetables ; and in the stomachs of those 

 1 have opened, I have never found either flies 

 or small fishes. 



AT TABLE. 



OiiN. — Now the hucho is dressed, and on 

 the same table with other species of the salmo, 

 I perceive his peculiarities more distinctly; 

 and, in addition to those you have mentioned.
