spots, surrounded by the bright olive shade of 

 the sides and back : the dorsal fin in the char 

 has 11 spines, the pectoral 14, the ventral 9, 

 the anal 10, and the caudal 20. I have fished 

 for them in many lakes, without success, both 

 in England and Scotland, and also amongst 

 the Alps ; and I am told the only sure way 

 of taking them is by sinking a line with a 

 bullet, and a hook having a live minnow at- 

 tached to it, in the deep water which they 

 usually haunt; and in this way, likewise, I 

 have no doubt the umbla, or ombre chevalier^ 

 might be taken.
