342 SEVENTH REPORT OF THE FOREST, FISH AND GAME COMMISSION. 



General appearance of Sa/nio salar sebago, from which it would probably not be 

 distinguished by the casual observer if caught where the Landlocked Salmon 

 occurs; but the Icmamis is distinguishable by the heavier appearance forward of 

 the dorsal fin. 



Color in spirits, brownish on back, top of head and sides of head ; sides and 

 belly very silvery ; large roundish black spots above lateral line forward and on 

 cheeks and opercles ; perpendicularly elongate spots forward below lateral line ; 

 black of all spots most intense on edges of scales; posteriorly the spots show only 

 on the edges of the scales, being variously crescentic, double or triple crescentic, 

 X or double X-shaped ; fins pale with slightly dusky tinge; dorsal with 5 trans- 

 verse rows of black spots. 



Mr. De Witt, who sent the specimen, furnished the following notes on Green 

 Lake, from whence it was forwarded : " Maximum depth 42 feet, with temperature 

 at bottom at that depth, as far as I have been able to ascertain, about 40°. Has no 

 outlet so far as we know. No Brown Trout have ever been put in it, and we take it 

 for granted that the specimen I send is one of the Swiss Trout."
