Class IV. TROUT. 299 



*Teque inter geminos /pedes, neutrumque et utrumque, 

 Qui nee dum Salmo, nee Salar ambiguu/que. 

 Atnbormn medio Fa rio inter cepte fub tevo. 



Salmon or /alar, I'll pronounce thoe neither; 

 A doubtful kind, that may be none, or either, 

 Fario, when ftopt in middle growth. 



In fact the colors of the trout, and its fpots, 

 vary greatly in different waters, and in different 

 fealbns ; yet each may be reduced to one fpecies. 

 In Llyndivi, a lake in South Wales, are trouts 

 called Coch y dail, marked with red and black fpots 

 as big as fix-pences ; others unfpotted, and of a 

 reddifh hue, that fometimes weigh near ten pounds, 

 but are bad tailed. 



In Lough Neagh in Ireland, are trouts called 

 there Buddaghs, which I was told fometimes weigh- 

 ed thirty pounds, but it was not my fortune to fee 

 any during my (lay in the neighborhood of that vail 

 water. 



Trouts (probably of the fame fpecies) are alfo 

 taken in Hulfe-water, a lake in Cumberland, of a 

 much fuperior fize to thofe of Lough Neaglj. Thefe 

 are fuppofed to be the fame with the trout of the 

 lake of Geneva, a fifh I have eaten more than 

 once, and think but a very indifferent one. 



In the river Eynion, not far from Machyntleth, Crooked 

 in Merioneth/hire, and in one of the Snowdon lakes, 

 are found a variety of trout, which are naturally 

 deformed, having a ftrange crookednefs near the 



tail, 



Trouts.
