they collect in shoals and are called fry. By autumn they are from 
two to three inches long, and are then called parr (Fig. 2). Very 
little feeding takes place after the end of September, and when the 
cold weather sets in, the parr leave the shallow water to take up their 
abode under stones, where they remain till March or April, and almost 
entirely cease to feed. During their stay in winter-quarters they 
become very black and fall off in condition. Often, when collecting 
larve, I have lifted a flat stone quietly and disclosed to view three or 
four parr. These did not swim away at first, but remained motion- 
less for some time, apparently in a dazed, sleepy condition. When

quieter pools. Strange to say, they are now smaller than they were 
during the autumn. As the season advances they become lively, 
frequent shallow water, forsake large rivers, and run up as far as the 
water will take them. They increase quickly in size, and by autumn 
are double the dimensions they were in the previous autumn. The 
parr is now a very handsome fish indeed. Along its silvery sides 
are nine bars, with black and red spots, and the tail or caudal fin is 
much rounder than before. During winter, again, the parr retire 
to their old haunts, and leave them in March and begin to feed. 
About the first week in April a great change takes place in their 
appearance; the silvery smolt dress is assumed, and the dawn of
