264 SALMONIA.

 long, 1 1 inches in girth, and 3 inches thick,

 in the fins, the anal has 9, the caudal 20,

 17: having numbered the spines in many, 

 I give this as correct. The fleshy fin be-

 this species than in any I have seen. Bloch, 

 in his work on fishes, states that there are 

 black spots on all the fins, with the exception 

 of the anal, as a character of this fish : and 

 Professor Wagner informs me he has seen 

 huchos with this peculiarity; but, as I said 

 before, I never saw any fish with spotted fins 

 yet I have examined those of the Danube, 

 Save, Drave, Mur, and Izar : perhaps this .is 

 peculiar to some stream in Bavaria yet the 

 huchos in the collection at Munich have it

 butary to the Danube in the Save and 

 Laybach rivers always ; yet the general opi- 

 nion is, that they run Hfrom the Danube twice 

 a year, in spring and autumn. I can answer
