COLE’S CHAIL 
ENNISKILLEN CHAR. 
Salmo Oolei, Guntiiee. 
Salvelinus Oolei, Nobis. 
The trivial name assigned to tliis species is designed by Dr. 
Gunther as a mark of respect to the Earl of Enniskillen, the 
name of whose family is Cole; and to whom science is indebted 
for many advantages, and both Dr. Gunther and myself for the 
supply of specimens of Natural History, and the kindly spirit 
in which they were bestowed. 
About the middle of November I was favoured by the noble 
'Earl, to whose name this species is esjiecially dedicated, with 
a considerable number of these fish, from which our figure and 
description have been taken; and at the same time a supply 
was sent to the Dritish Museum for examination by Di. A. 
Gunther. They were all obtained liom Lough Esk, in Donegal, 
but we are informed that they also inhabit Lough Elvyn in 
company with another species already described; and they are 
found in Lough Lada, with some others in the county of 
AVicklow. 
The example described, which was about the usual size, was 
nine inches in length; the shape not much unlike that of the 
Pollan, but a little rounder; the body moderately compressed, 
sloping gently from the dorsal fin to the snout, which is a 
little rounded at the point. Eye large, the nostrils in front of 
it in a depression, one of them a wide cavity surrounded by a 
membrane, the other a slit; breadth of the head between the 
eyes only a little more than the extent of the orbit; and a low 
ridge along the top. Jaws equal, teeth in both and on the 
side.^ of the jialate, with a separation between the rows in front;
