Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ...and take nobly in them. I have myself caught a hundredweight of them in a day in a lake in Ireland. They are found in most Salmon rivers, and in smaller streams which are too shallow for Salmon. The smallest mountain beck will often, when in state, give good sport. They also, as I have shown, take in salt water, and are quite as likely to be found in the mouth of the river as they are in the highest pool up amongst the mountains, for they are great and pertinacious travellers.

I have, however, been informed by Mr. Christie that sometimes the Salmon Trout of the Beauly is also white, and not very good. According to Giinther the Salnio trutta attains to a length of about three feet, and the female is mature when from ten to twelve inches long.
