120 Mr. C. T. Regan on the 



I have examined specimens from iiitermeJiate localities. 

 There are still a number of lochs in Sutherlandshire, Ro.ss- 

 sliire, and Inverness-shire which contain Char, but from 

 which 1 have not yet seen any. 



In the following list of specimens I have examined I give 

 in each case the number of branched rays in the dorsal fin 

 (D) and in the anal tin (A), the number of scales in a longi- 

 tudinal series (Sc), of branchiostegals (B), and of gill-rakers 

 on the lower part of the anterior arch (U-r.). 



(1) Char allied to S. killinensis. 



1. Loch Roy, a small loch at the head of Glen Roy in 

 Inverness-shire; a single specimen (c?), 160 mm. in total 

 length, presented by Mr. II. Chohnondeley Pennell in lc!62. 

 D. 7; A. 8 ; Sc. 160; B. 0; Gr. 15. Head perhaps a little 

 smaller and scales larger than in the Killin Char, but, con- 

 sidering the variation in the number of scales in other forms, 

 e. g. the Loch Loyal Char, and our ignorance of the Cliar of 

 other lochs in Inveiness-shire (except L. Bruiacli), I cannot 

 yet recognize this form as even a distinct race. 



(2) Char allied to S. willughbii. 



1. CONISTON Lake; three specimens ( $ ) 190 to 240 mm. 

 in total length, presented by Mr. J. W. Barratf. D. 9-10 ; 

 A. 8-9; Sc. 186-198; B. 10-11; Gr. 12-13. Nearly 

 identical with the Windermere CMiar. 



2. Crummock Water; four specimens ( cJ ? ) 270 to 

 280 mm. in total length, presented by Mr. W. H. Marshall. 

 D. 9-10; A. 8; Sc. 160-170; B. 9-12; Gr. 12-14. Prac- 

 tically identical with the Windermere Cliar. 



These examples were in splendid condition, and when they 

 arrived I drew up the following description of their colora- 

 tion : — " Back and sides bluish, with silvery reflections and 

 with numerous pink spots everywhere ; faint traces of 9-12 

 parr-marks; lower parts red; snout, upper part of head, and 

 sometimes the maxillary blackish ; lower jaw, branchiostegals, 

 and thorax wdiite ; cheeks and opercles silvery, with shades 

 of green, blue, or pink ; iris golden, pupil black ; dorsal and 

 caudal fins blackish, with or without pale spots at the base ; 

 pectoral dusky, tinged with red, sometimes with the upper 

 ray whitish ; pelvics and anal similar, but redder and with 

 strongly marked white anterior edges." 



3. LoCH Grannoch in Kirkcudbrightshire; eight speci- 

 mens (d" ?); 160-230 mm. in total length, three presented
