 NATURALISATION OF FISH LATE EARL OF DERBY. 



THE Grayling (Harr, Sw. ; Thymallus vulgaris, Cuv.) 

 was neither an inhabitant of the Gotha nor the Wenern ; 

 but it abounded in the Clara, and other northern tributaries 

 of that lake. Never having met with or heard of this fish in 

 the midland or southern parts of Sweden, I am much in- 

 clined to believe it is confined to the more northern portion of 

 Scandinavia say from the 59 or 60 of north latitude, 

 upwards. As, however, not only English but Danish natu-' 

 ralists describe it as a very local fish (Kroyer tells us it 

 is only found in a few lakes in Jutland), it is possible I 

 may be mistaken in the matter. What its limits to the 

 northward may be, I know not ; but as I myself have 

 captured it in abundance high up in Lapland say in about 

 the 69 latitude I apprehend it is to be found nearly as far 

 as the North Cape itself.
