FISHES. 129 



214. Sal mo gray! Giinih. Gray's Charr. 



215. Salmo colii Gilnth. Cole's Charr. 



216. Osmerus eperlanus (L.). Smelt. 



Resident and common in the estuaries of the Tees and 

 Humber. It abounds in the Ouse and the Humber from 

 Naburn Lock to Spurn Point, and occurs a considerable 

 distance up the Tees. Yarrell states that Col. Meynell, of 

 Yarm, kept Smelts for four years in a freshwater pond 

 having no communication with the sea, where they con- 

 tinued to thrive and propagated abundantly. When the 

 pond- was drawn, the fishermen of the Tees considered 

 that they had never seen a finer lot of Smelts ; there being 

 no loss of flavour or quality. 



217. Coregonus clupeoides Laclp* Gwyniad. Rowan* 



218. Coregonus vandesius Rich, Vendace. 



219. Coregonus pollan Thomp. Pollan. 



220. Thymallus vulgaris Nilss. Grayling. 



Freshwater resident, found in varying abundance in the 

 middle waters of the Wharfe, Washburn, Nidd, Ure, and 

 Swale, also in the Cover, Wiske, and Codbeck, the Rye 

 and other tributaries of the Upper Derwent, and in the 

 Scalby Beck near Scarborough. In the Tees it is very 

 limited in its numbers, and it has been introduced into the 

 Esk. Formerly abundant in the Ribble and Hodder, 

 their extreme scarcity if not extinction being ascribed 

 to the great increase of Salmon. It was also formerly 

 abundant in the Aire about Bingley, but in 1824 all were 

 destroyed by the bursting of a peat bog; subsequent 

 attempts at re-introduction have as yet proved ineffectual. 



221. Argentina silus (Ascanius). 



222. Argentina sphyraena L. Hebridal Argentine. 

 Extremely rare, there being only one record for the county. 



Redcar, one found February 5, 1852, and submitted to Mr. 

 Yarrell (Rudd, Zool., 1852, p. 3504).
