 color-notes were taken from the fresh fish : 



Dorsal tin with numerous dark blotches resembling those of young rainbow. Adipose long 

 and slender, amber color with two obscure dusky blotches, one of these very indistinct. Lower 

 half of sides pink ; ventral, anal and caudal pink ; ventral and anal with a milk-white front 

 margin, that in the anal limited behind by a dark line as in brook trout. Sides reticulated with 

 large meshes of lemon yellow interspersed with darker purplish or olive. Dorsal blotches are 

 mingled with pale lemon. Pectoral pale vermilion. Eye silvery white with yellowish reflections. 



The specimen from Oakdale, Long Island, weighed twenty ounces. It has a 

 triangular patch of vomerine teeth, as found in fontinalis, but continued behind by
