DR. EMBLETON ON THE VEND ACE. 147 



by him from Derwentwater. He informed me that the Yendace 

 occurred also in Bassenthwaite Lake, and in Ullswater, on the 

 shores of which it was called Skelly. 



On looking into our Museum I found five dried specimens 

 marked as under : — 



1. Coregonus Willughbii, Jardine. The Vendace, (Perm.,) Loch- 



niaben, Aug., 1836. 



2. Coregonus Willughbii, Jardine. Vendace, La Vemme, Cuvier, 



Tom. II., p. 307. 

 Coregonus Marcenula. 



Lochmaben, Aug., 1839. C. B. 



3. Coregonus Lavaretus? Elem., Bala Lake, Oct., 1840. Sir 



W. W. Wynn. 

 Coregonus fera? Cuvier. 

 Salmo Wartmanni, Bloch. PI. 105. 

 Salmo Lavaretus, Pennant. 

 The Gwyniad, Willoughby. 



4. Coregonus Pollan (Thompson. The Pollan, Lough Neagh, 



July, 1839).

Clupeidce, consisting of the Pilchard, Herring, Sprat, Whitebait, 



Anchovy, etc. 



Pennant makes it the same as the Gwyniad of Wales, and 

 gives among its synonyms, "Yandesius and Gevandesius (Sib. 

 Sect. 26), the Yangis or Juvangis of Lochmaben."
