 dusky with a shade of blue, growing lighter at the

 more prominent than the lower, and the mouth like 

 that of a herring. General length from ten to 

 twelve inches ; though it is sometimes caught from 

 sixteen to eighteen inches long, and weighing from 

 two to four pounds. It is found in the lakes of 

 Wales ; in Ullswater, in Cumberland, where it is 

 called the Schelly ; Lochmaben, in Scotland ; and in 

 the Highland lakes, where it is called the Powan, 

 and Pollag.

 Head transparent ; back of a straw color with a 

 tinge of green ; lighter towards the sides ; belly 

 white. Is distinguished by its peculiar smell. 

 Mostly taken from six to ten inches long, in large 

 rivers, which it does not appear to ascend much

 Thames ; the Humber, in great abundance ; the 

 Tyne ; and in most of the large rivers of Scotland.
