In a single small specimen ( ?) from Lough Inagh, 150 mm. in total length, I count 10 branched rays in the dorsal tin, 7 in the anal, 160 scales in a longitudinal series, and 14 gill-rakers on the lower part of the anterior arch. The longest gill-rakers are nearly equal to | the diameter of the eye. 4. Salvelinus grayi. Salmo grat/i, Giinth. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1862, p. 51, pi. vii., 1863, p. 12, and Cat.
