42 THE FISH OF DORSET. 



improve the breed of Salmo fario with more or less success. They 

 are not unlike the sea trout in colour, but are not migratory. The 

 flesh is pink like sea trout. Couch IV., p. 243, PI. CCXX. 

 Day II., p. 92, PL CXVL, fig. 2 and 2a. 



SALMO FARIO. 



COMMON TROUT. 



Is found in nearly all our Dorset rivers. They vary very much 

 both in shape and colour, and also in the colour and goodness of 

 their flesh in the same stream and within a few yards of each other. 

 I believe it all depends on the particular food each individual 

 fish prefers. Nothing comes much amiss to them when hungry.
