yatou by ducks. In the Eaton stream there are scarcely any to be 
seen, tliouf^b I liave taken only about two fish out — one of them 
was undoubtedly a Lake trout, weighing 3 or 4 lbs.” 
Sai.mo fahio (L.) Common trout.

lUr. Ciiriiey thinks the suppo.sed “salmon," from Cossey and 
Swanton, mentioned in Lubbock’s “ Eauna,” were of this species, 
also the Lyng specimen recorded by ]\Ir. Stevenson ; and lie adds 
“ it is remarkable that this fish, though abundant in the YYnsum, 
is not a native of the L^iijier ^are, and an attemjit to introduce 
them artificial!}' by liatching ova in the Yareapjiears to have failed.” 
In the Tudd, a small .stream intermediate between the Upper 
A\ ensum and Ujiper \are, trout are found, and grow largo, but are 
said to be descended from some artificially introduced from thirty 
to forty years ago. 
it trout exist in the \are, as stated by Lulibock, T believe it 
is only in the lower stream, after it has been joined by tbe 'Wensum. 
A remarkably fine trout of this species was taken 14th February, 
1807, in the river Llyth, near Ilalesworth. This fish (of which I 
have seen a photograph) weighed 15 lbs., and measured 40 inches 
in total length, ami was 21 inches in girth. 
{Sir T. Ilrowne mentions “ the trutta, or trout, and tbe gam- 
mants, or craAvfish, but scarce in our rivers; but frequently taken 
in the Bure or Xorth river, and in the several branches thereof;” 
and he adds, “ very remarkable large crawfishes to be found in the 
river Avhich runs by Castleacre and Xerford.” Query, are they 
still to be found in that locality 1 
OsMERUS EPERLAXUS (L.) Smelt. 
Very abundant in the shallow watei-s of the Estuarv, and on 
tbe Burgh Flats, Yarmouth, where they often attain a large size. 
]Mr. Xorman has measured some taken at the latter place, which 
were eleven inches and a half long, and weighed seven ounces. 
I have seen fi.sh of exactly the same size and weight (Feb. 2 1st, 
1874) taken on the Ouse. These were full of roe. In 1867 I saw 
one which was a foot long, and which weighed only a quarter of a 
]>ound.
