FOB PLEASURE AND PROFIT. 97 



from the other. In some waters where they have been in- 

 troduced the third, and even the second, generation has 

 found them most astoundingly like tha trout indigenous to 

 that water. For the most part the parent fish retain their 

 characteristics, but the progeny certainly do not. For this 

 reason I see no particular value in Levenensis other than as 

 valuable and safe " new blood " in streams, or for stocking 

 waters of similar character to Loch Leven. 



With reference to Bavarian great lake trout, Alpine char, 

 and other foreign fish with which certain British fish-culturists 

 are experimenting, I would strongly advise the exercise of 

 considerable caution in connection with the introduction of 

 them into any waters in this country until we know more 

 about them. Mayhap we shall have other valuable additions 

 to the stock of game fish in our watsrs from among them. 

 But, whilst guarding against prejudice, let us be cautious. 

 And these remarks apply equally to the introduction of 

 any foreign trout either at the present time or in the future.
