Mr. Yarrel admits that ho has seen these vortical marks in tlie youn-r fry of the Salmon, Bull Trout, Parr, common Trout, and Welch Charr ; but still maintains the existence of the Parr as distinct, principally on the ground that the Parrs are taken abundantly oven in autumn, not exceeding five inches in length, long after the fry of the larger migra- tory species have gone down to the sea. This is in the body of the work, written previous to the experiments made by Mr. Shaw; and this Mr. Yarrel there considers to be a sufficiently obvious proof that the Parr is not the young of the Salmon, or indeed of any other of the larger Salmonidcc. The reason is of course annihilated by the proven fact, that the Pinks, which remain in fresh-water all the first year, are young Sal- mon, Parr-marked; whereas the young Salmon-fry, Smolts, formerly supposed to be the young fish of that year, all of which have gone down the river to the sea, are in truth the fish of the preceding year. Similarly is the question settled with regard to the existence of Parrs in streams of the Western isles which are never visited by Salmon, these being, in all probability, the Brook Trout in the Parr stage of its existence. And so again the fact that there are laJi-es in the same islands fre- quented by the Salmon and sea Trout, in which Parrs arc never found —because the young fry, while in the Parr, or transversely banded, form, keep in the swift cold streams, and do not d 'sccnd to the lakes. It now appears to be certain, or ns nearly
