SALMOXIDJE. 115 



and the preceding species in what may be called the Parr form, with 

 dusky lateral transverse bandings. I have not judged it necessary to 

 give cuts of these fry, as the fact may be regarded as thoroughly 

 established, and as the other characteristics of these young Lake 

 Trout are so broad and distinct, that they could not be easily mis- 

 taken either for the young of any other species or for a distinct 

 variety. 



The above descriptions, as well as the representation in the annexed 

 wood-cut, are taken, by permission, which is here gratefully acknow- 

 ledged, from a spirited colored sketch by Mr. Elliot Cabot, of Boston, 

 who accompanied Prof. Agassiz on the tour above-mentioned, and from 

 the notes of that gentleman. 



It is trusted that this notice, although brief, of an entirely new 

 Salmo, will prove satisfactory both to the sportsman and to the natu- 

 ralist ; and if the mention of its peculiarities may induce the gentle 

 anglers of this country to pay a little more attention to the structural 

 diflFerences of fishes, so as to lead to the discovery of new species, 

 several of which it can hardly be doubted remain still nondescript in 

 the unfrequented waters of this mighty land, some good will have been 

 done to the great cause of science.
