FISHES. 
Sub-family LEUCISGINA. 
172. Leuciscus rutilus {L.). Roach. 
173. Leuciscus cephalus {L.). Chub. 
174. Leuciscus vulgaris, Flem. Dace. 
175. Leuciscus erythrophthalmus {L.). Rudd. 
176. Tinea vulgaris, Cuv. Tench. 
" A beautiful specimen was captured in the Moray Firtli in 
the middle of June 1863; from whence it came and how 
it fared is a mystery " (Edward ; Day, Brit. Fishes, vol. ii. 
p. 191). 
177. Leuciscus phoxinus (Z.). Minnow. 
Inserted on the authority of Dr. Joass. In the Eeport of the 
Scotch Fisheries Improvement Association, 1884, it is stated 
that they " appear to be present in all the rivers and lochs 
of Scotland, with one exception (so far as can be gathered), 
that exception being Loch Awe." This appears to us a 
very sweeping assertion. We are not aware ourselves of 
the occurrence of this species in any river north of the 
Deveron in Banffshire, except the Spey, where it was intro- 
duced to a limited extent about the year 1883. We have 
no single record from any river running into the Moray 
Firth north of Inverness. Day's " throughout most of the 
north of Scotland " requires modification {British Fishes, 
vol. ii. p. 185). In twenty years we have never once met 
with the minnow anywhere in Sutherlandshire. 
Sub-family ABEAMIDINA. 
178. Abramis brama {L.). Bream. 
179. Abramis blicca {Bl.). White Bream. 
180. Alburnus lucidus, EecJcel and Kner. Bleak.
