Sir T. Browne observes — “ Salmon no common fish in our rivers, 
though many were taken in the Ouse; in the Bure or north river; 
in the AVaveney or south river; in the Norwich river but seldom, 
and in the winter. But four years ago, fifteen were taken at 
Trowse Mill at Christmas, Avhose mouths Avere stuck Avith small 
worms or horse leeches, no bigger than fine threads. * * !Most 
of our salmon have a recurved piece of flesh in the end of the 
loAver jaAV, Avhich, Avhen they shut their mouths, deeply enters the 
upper, as Scaliger hath noted in some.” 
Of late years the salmon seems to have disappeared from the 
Norfolk coasts. The only instance of AAdiich I have any record, is 
one Avliich Avas caught in a flooded meadoAV at Lakenham, about , 
December 1st, 1873. This Avas shown by Mr. Gurney to Dr. 
Gunther, Avho pronounced it beyond doubt a true salmon. It has 
been presented by Mr. Birkbeck to the Nonvich Aluseum. Mr. 
Gurney says this is the first Norfolk salmon he has seen. 
Salmo trutta (Flem.) Salmon trout. 
Frequently caught in the Ouse and the Estuary. 
In the Bure and AVaveney. — Lubbock. 
Mr. Stevenson reports that one Avas taken AA’ith rod and line, at 
Lyng Mills, March, 1862. It Aveighed 15 lbs., and Avas 31 inches 
in length. Another taken at the same place soon afterwards 
Aveighed 10 lbs. 
Mr. Gurney thinks these could not have been Sahno trutta, 
“ as no sea-trout could ascend the river higher than the ‘ Ncav 
Mills’ at Norwich.” 
]\lr. DoAvell obserA^es that the salmon trout remains on our coasts 
at all times of the year, but he has never seen it Avith roe.

Salmo ferox (Jard. and Selb.) I.ake trout. 
Mr. J. J. Colman, of NorAvich, a feAV years since, hatched a number 
of the ova of this species, and introduced them into the small .streams 
near Eaton and Cossoy. “A feAv more,” he says, in a letter to 
lilr. Gurney, “ Avent to the Stoke (Holy Cro.ss) river, and some to
