THE COREGONUS OXYRHINCHUS. 129 



The grayling attains to a considerable size in Scandinavia. 

 I myself have never killed it exceeding three pounds 

 in weight, though on one occasion I hooked, and all but 

 landed, a very much larger fish. Mr. Richard Dann, 

 however, assures me he has repeatedly taken grayling 

 in the northern rivers of fully five pounds in weight. 

 Kroyer also speaks of grayling of four pounds and 

 upwards. 



Of the Coregoni we had several species in my vicinity. 

 But English naturalists assure me that, singularly enough, 

 not one of the specimens brought over by me is identical 

 with those found in this country.
