51. The Charr {Salmo salvelinus, Linn.). 



Hob. From the lake in Cumberland called Crummock Water. 

 The Charr of this lake do not ascend a running stream as in Winandermere, 

 but deposit their spawn along the margin of the lake in the months of 

 December and January; at other times they haunt the deepest parts of 

 the lake, and are seldom taken but by the net.

54. Sabine's Smelt (^Osmerus Sabini, Zool. App. to Parry's Voyage, 



p. ccxi). 



Hob. "Two individuals of this species were brought from a lake, 

 supposed to be about twenty miles distant from the sea, by the party 

 who lost their way, and were absent four days on an excursion in 

 Melville Island in September 1819 ; they described the lake as 

 abounding in similar fish, of the same size as the specimens, which 

 were 3 inches in length ; the situation of the lake, and its direction 

 from the ships were unfortunately so uncertain as to defeat all sub- 

 sequent research." Sabine, ut supra.
