Th« largest brook trout of all are found in large lakes, where range, space, feed, warmth of water, and perhaps inherited tendencies, all combine to pro- duce a large race. Trout, like other fishes, have small brams compared with the higher animals, and are very slightly sensi- tive to pain. They have a rapid digestion, which, though not equal to that of a pickerel,* and some warm-water fishes, makes them susceptible to very quick growth indeed under favorable circumstances. Trout have this peculiarity also, that they vary from one another in their personal appearance to an endless degree. No two trout are alike. Every trout has its individual markings, as much as human beings, which distin- guish it from all other trout. A mullet caught in a lake looks like all the other mullets of the lake, so with the white-fish and others ; but each trout has its individual marks which distinguish it from all others. The trout also of different brooks and lakes all differ from one another, so that the streams in which they are caught can frequently be told by the looks of the fish. Their difierent localities in the same stream also affect their appearance. Over a light gravelly bot- tom the trout grow light-complexioned, and they vary through all shades of complexion, from this to the dark slimy trout, almost as Mack as a bull-head, which * Most fish have a rapid digestion. Bertram compares the digestion of some to the action of fire. Harvest of the Sea, p. 4. ..
