98 FISH AND PISHING IN SCOTLAND. 



eleven inches long. The longest parr was seven inches, the 

 smallest three, the average five-and-a-half. In the female parr 

 the ova were distinct, but quite unaltered ; in some of the male, 

 the milts were of considerable size, in others not developed. 

 Upon the whole, the parr were much in the condition I had found 

 them in the Tweed, in August and September. The stomachs of 

 these parr were full of insects. The river and lake were fished 

 for me in December.
