M. Agassiz, when in the North of England in the 

 autumn of 1834, had several opportunities of examining 

 the Charr of the Northern lakes, which he declared to be 

 identical with the Ombre Chevalier of the Lake of Geneva; 

 and in his " Remarks on the different species of the genus 

 Salmo which frequent the various rivers and lakes of Eu- 

 rope," read at the meeting of the British Association at 

 Edinburgh, that gentleman considered the ^S*. umbla, alpinus, 

 salvelinus, and salmarinus of Linnseus as different states 

 only of the same fish.*
