Mr. W. Thompson’s Notes on British Char. 439 
Onreeds. Tansor, Norths. At present I have found only a 
very few specimens. 
252. Torula Plantaginis, Corda, Ic. fasc. 3. tab. 1. f. 14. 
On leaves of Plantains. Stibbington, Hunts., 1828. I find 
exactly the same barren creeping threads of a perfectly distinct 
structure from the torulose threads as Corda. I suspect that 
further observations will show that this fungus has distinct 
sporidia. At present, however, it must remain in the genus 
Torula. 
253. Puccinia Galiorum, Lk., Sp. vol.ii. p. 76. Dr. John- 
ston finds a beautiful variety on Asperula odorata. 
254. Aicidium Pedicularis, Loboschutz. Caeoma Pedicu- 
lariatum, Lk., Sp. vol. ii. p.47. Near Berwick. Dr. Johnston, 
Sept. 1839. Only a very few specimens of this interesting spe- 
cies occurred.

Berwicks., Dr. Johnston, who informs me that he has in vain 
looked for specimens this year, though it was very abundant 
when he first met with it. 
LI.—Notes on British Char, Salmo Umbla, Linn., S. Sal- 
velinus, Don. By Wa. Tuompson, Vice-Pres. Nat. Hist. 
Society of Belfast. 
HAvine within the last few years, through the kindness of 
friends and correspondents, been favoured with specimens of 
Char from various localities in the British Islands, I shall here 
give some notes made upon them. 
It may first be mentioned, that so late as the years 1835 
and 1836, when the excellent volumes of Mr. Jenyns and 
Mr. Yarrell appeared, neither author had seen any Char from 
Ireland* or Scotland, and the original observations contained 
in their respective works were necessarily limited to examples 
of the fish from the lakes of England and Wales. In the 
Edinburgh Philosophical Journal for January 1835 (vol. xviii. 
p- 58), Sir Wm. Jardine noticed the Salmo alpinus as taken 
by his party in Sutherlandshire. 
* When I supplied Mr. Yarrell with the published localities in Ireland 
for the Char, as noticed in his work, I had not seen any native examples of 
the species. In the Supplement to his ‘ British Fishes’ (1839, p. 27), this 
author has offered a few remarks on Char sent him by Lord Cole from 
Loughs Eask and Melvin in Ireland—these are considered to be examples 
of the S. Umbla, Linn., and S. Salvelinus, Don.
