I70 " KELB-EL-BAHRr from England, was more successful, and bagged a fine kelbcl-lhi/ir,"' weighing over ten pounds, with a spoon-bait. Colvin, standing on a high rock, continued fishing most successfully, fish after fish rushing at the novel bait, almost as soon as it touched the water ; but he was frequently startled by a loud splash and clang, as one of the recently hooked fish, that had broken his tackle, leaped out of the water, and flapped its head ao-ainst the rock, in futile endeavours to rid itself of the obnoxious metal bait.

The kclb-cl-baJir'' is a most ferocious fish, somewhat resembling a salmon in appearance, having a moveable upper jaw, and frightful teeth that fit into one another like those of a rat-trap. It usually lurks about where shallow water is close to deep, on the look-out for victims who seem to know their danger, and will rarely venture into deep water. Often, when fording these shallows, we have frightened a shoal of roach-like fish down stream and into deep water. In a minute there would be a rush and a splash ; and by the gleam of loose scales on the water, it was evident that master kelb " had not let so good a chance escape him. This was a most sporting fish, always fighting to the last gasp, very much after the manner of a salmon. One caught in the net bit IMahoom in the ankle, causing a very painful sore.

But it was the baggnr (of which mention is made by Sir Samuel Baker), that gave us most sport. It is a true perch, lacking only the zebra-like bands of that fish ; its scales are as silvery as fresh-run salmon, and it has ruby eyes like those of a white rabbit or ferret. It loves deep, running water ; and it was at the outlet of the above-mentioned pool, that we found them most plentiful. They did not seem to care much for the spoon or phantom-minnow, so we tried to get some live bait.

This at first seemed almost impossible, as no one knew how
