 Fleming (1838) classed the following genera among the British Salmonidfe : 

 Salnio, Osmerus, Coregonus including Thymallus and doubtfully Scopelits. 

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

 as a distinct genus. Dr. Giinther (1866) divided the family of SalmoijidiB as 

 follows : — Salnio, including salmon, trout, and char, Onchorhyvchus, Brachymystax, 

 Luciotruita, Pecoglossus, Osmerus or smelt, Thaleichthys, Hypomesus, Mallotus, 

 Petropinna, 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 include the salmon, various forms of trout and char, and also the 

 grayling.
