LAKE SHARKS 39 



the general character of this fish than that of the 

 * great gray trout.' I must admit that I have 

 never had the luck to catch one of these lake 

 sharks, though I have seen specimens of them, 

 and such knowledge as I possess respecting them 

 has been acquired from what I have heard and 

 read ; but the authority from which I quote is 

 reliable, and may prove of service to the reader, 

 and enable him to recognise the fish should he 

 at any time be fortunate enough to catch one in 

 good condition.
