 with the Swedish salmon, make a few more remarks 

 on the subject, I shall dismiss it for the present, 

 merely remarking that we used to take those bort- 

 ing from 2 lb. (I rarely saw them under) up to 

 12 lb. I never saw a red spot on one, although 

 the common trout in the same water (but they 

 were rare there) were spotted precisely like the 

 common British trout. The flesh was always 

 paler than in the common trout. The borting
