 Floiuing (1838) classed the following genera among the IJritish Salmonidco : 

 Saluio, Osmerns, Coregonus including Thymallus and dou])ti"ully Hcopclus. 

 Jenyns (1835) adopted the same classification, except that he jjlaced Thymallus 

 as a distinct genus. Dr. Giinthcr (18GG) divided the family of Salmonida) as 

 follows : — Salmo, including salmon, trout, and char, Oncliorhynclixis, Brachywystax, 

 Lnciotrutta, Pecoglossus, )jsmcrus or smelt, ThalcichtJiys, Ilypomestis, Mallohis, 

 Betropinna, Coregonus or guiniads, Thymallus or grayling, Argentina, Microstoma 

 and Salanx. 



In the following pages I shall restrict my remarks to what may be termed the 

 "game fishes" of this family found in the fresh waters of the British Isles, 

 and which iucludo the salmon, various forms of trout and char, and also tho 

 grayling.
