SHAPE like that of a Salmon but considerably 

 longer in proportion : length from two to four or 

 five feet : colour silvery-grey, with numerous round, 

 deep-brown spots : back dusky : fins (except the 

 ventral which are yellowish) pale purple, thickly 

 spotted with brown, not excepting even the adipose 

 or small fin : tail forked : abdomen plain or un- 

 spotted : scales rather small : lateral line nearly 

 strait. Inhabits the Danube, the Bavarian and 

 Austrian lakes, and the rivers of Russia and Siberia: 

 not much esteemed as a food, the flesh wanting 

 firmness.
