vernaculars "Marston trout" and "Red Canadian trout," and 

 listed as Salvelinus marstoni, Evermann and Goldsborough give^ 

 a list of localities for the Quebec and Ottawa provinces, including 

 I^ake Cassette among their records. 



According to Mr. Titus, the present form is known as the "Golden 

 trout" or "Poisson d'Oro," from its coloration. The males always 

 exhibit orange-red sides and the female appears to have a more 

 yellowish tinge. The largest examples were about 1| pounds in 

 weight, and the dimensions of the largest noted above. They 

 spaw^i in late November and during December, in this locality. 

 All the trout of these lakes were spawning on the same grounds. 

 They do not appear to be common, and are taken in proportion of 

 one to every 1*50 or 200 brook trout.
