THERE was very good fishing at Ronnum ; but before 

 speaking of my performances with the rod, &c., it may 

 be as well to say something of the fish inhabiting the 

 Wenern, the River Gotha, and other neighbouring waters 

 as also to give a slight account of such other fresh-water 

 fishes as are included in the Scandinavian Fauna. Of the 

 fish found on the adjacent sea-coast, I shall have occasion to 

 speak hereafter. 



The illustrations of fishes which follow, are from spe- 

 cimens, many of large size, brought by myself in spirits 

 of wine from the various localities referred to. They were 

 drawn by Mr. Alexander Fussell, so well known as a 

 first-rate zoological draughtsman, and engraved on wood 

 by Mr. Mason Jackson, second to no one in his pro- 

 fession.
