THE BROOK TROUTS OR CHARS. 479 



duction may be a success, and this hope was realized, for they proved 

 satisfactorily hardy, and on December 3, 1883, about 600 eggs were taken 

 by Commissioner Hodge. 



There are three other little known fishes of this group, now under study 

 by Dr. Bean. 



Salvelhms Rossii, which occurs in the Arctic Ocean about Boothia Fe- 

 lix, has recently been detected by him in the province of Leubec, Canada. 

 It is a very large species, reaching more than two feet in length, accord- 

 ing to Richardson. The best distinguishing character is the shape and 

 striation of the opercular bones. 



Another is Salvelimis arctiirus, which has been taken in Victoria Lake, 

 and Flocking Beach, Arctic America, and is the northernmost salmonoid 

 known. This he remarked may be one of the forms of stagnalis, but 

 specimens with red spots are still unknown. Last of all is the Sunapee 

 Trout, S. Agassizii, a form little understood, occurring in Sunapee Lake, 

 N. H., which is being investigated by Prof. Quackenbos, Col. Hodges and 

 Dr. Bean.
