GWYNIAD 



This is another fish very hke the vendace, and is lound in England 

 and Wales. Some of the lakes in Cumberland contain them. The 

 specimens I have seen Irom Derwentwater average about 8 inches 

 lonof. Mr. Tait Regan of the British Museum mentions this fish as 

 being closely allied to the vendace of Loch Maben, although it 

 is by no means identical. From the photographs, however, it would 

 be difficult to tell the one from the other. The colour and shape are 

 like those of the vendace, and the fins of both are also alike. They 

 are seldom caught with a hook, and little is known about them.
