seasons ; yet each may be reduced to one spe- 

 cies. In Llynteivi, a lake in South 1 Vales, are 

 trouts called Cock y dail, marked with red and 

 black spots as big as sixpences ; others unspot- 

 ted, and of a reddish hue, that sometimes weigh 

 nearly ten pounds, but are bad tasted. 



In Lough Neagh in Ireland, are trouts called 

 there Buddaghs, which I was told sometimes 

 weighed thirty pounds, but it was not my for- 

 tune to see any during my stay in the neighbor- 

 hood of that vast water. 



Trouts (probably of the same species) are 

 also taken in Uls-water, a lake in Cumberland, 

 of a much superior size to those of Lough 

 Neagh. These are supposed to be the same 

 with the trout of the lake of Geneva; a fish I 

 have eaten more than once, and think but a very 

 indifferent one. 



In the river Einion, not far from Machyn- 

 lleth, in Montgomeryshire, and in one of the 

 Snoxvdon lakes, is found a variety of trout, which 

 is naturally deformed, having a strange crook- 

 edness near the tail, resembling that of the perch 

 before described. We dwell the less on these 

 monstrous productions, as our friend the Hon. 

 Daines Barrington, has already given an ac- 

 count of them in an ingenious dissertation on
