1. Torgoch, or Welsh Char (Salvelinus perisit). 
(Various Lakes in North Wales.)

near Lerwick, Shetland Isles.) 
4. Gray’s Char (S. grayi). (Lough Melvin, Fer-

Lydekker says that “ in the spawning-season the upper 
parts of this fish are brownish-green, and the sides 
lighter ; the under surface passing through all shades of 
orange to vermilion, from the throat to the pelvic fins, 
where the colour attains its greatest intensity. The 
sides are ornamented with rounded spots varying from 
white to red in colour ; the dorsal fin has dark markings, 
and the pectoral and pelvic fins are brilliant red.” The 
form described is said to attain a length of 8 or g inches, 
but the ones found in Northern waters are much larger.
