ADDENDA. 357 



The differences between " Bull-trout and Salmon are sometimes 

 ao slight as to be scarcely perceptible by an inexperienced eye. 

 From what I have seen on the Beauly in the month of August, I 

 should say that the numbers of Salmon, Bull-trout, and Sea-trout 

 are as 30 : 3 : 1. 



I may also add here that I have seen specimens of Salmo hrachy- 

 j^oma in the same river, and that they are named there " Phinok," 

 a name used for the Grilse -state of S. trutta on other rivers. Spe- 

 cimens of S. fario frequently descend to the sea, and assume a bright 

 ailvery coloration, with numerous X-shaped spots.
