In 1863, 1470 fry were placed in the Lea rather more than three miles beyond Hertford (Wix). In May, 1866, it was introduced into the Lornan at Tiverton (Parfitt). It appears also to have been introduced into the Thames. Ireland.—Rutty, 1772, observes " Thymallus, the Grayling or Umber. With us it is a sea fish, and less than Willughby's, which is a river ; It seems to me probable that he may refer to Coregonus oxijrhynchus as I received the example figured, as a grayling. Brown two years after Rutty (1774) enumerates the grayling : but Thompson observes that " the parr has been sent to me from the south of Ireland under the name of grayling. Perhaps this name, as applied to the parr, may be a corruption of the word graveling, which is generally applied to that fish in the southern ; For the example figured, which is a male l-5^- inches in length, I am indebted to the Earl of Ducie, who captured it in the Test, April 30th, 1879. In the club fishing waters in that river at Stockbridge and Houghton, a memorandum of the largest grayling captured every year from 1834 to 1874 was kept; it shows the annual variation to be between 3j lb; to 3 lb. 11 oz. Pennant records one of 4 lb. 6 oz. from the Tame at Ludlow. Tarrell mentions another one of 4^ lb. fi-om the Test, and Daniel one of 5 lb. from near Shrewsbury. In Lapland it is said to reach to 8 or 9 lb. Stomach and ccecal appendages op Coregonus Please n
