SUCKLEY MONOGEAPH OF THE GENUS SALMO. 119 



der the name of Solar spectahilis. I canuot recognize the genera Salar 

 or Fario, for reasons which have been given ah-eady in detail. 



The salmon-trout of Paget Sound is a beautiful fish, varying in length 

 from 10 to 24 inches. Its sides are profusely speckled with circular 

 vermilion spots of abont the same average circumference as a small 

 pea. On the back of the fish there are several rows of the same sized 

 spots, of a cream color. This trout is said to atford much* sport; it 

 certainly takes bait greedily, and would probably readily rise to the fiy. 

 They are found in the fresh waters from April till near Christmas, but 

 are caught niost abundantly during the months of October and Novem- 

 ber. The Puyallup, Dwamish, and Lummi Rivers, during three mouths, 

 afford good fishing near their mouths. As a table-fish, this species, in 

 my opinion, considerably surpasses the common brook-trout, which is 

 saying a great deal. 



A si)ecies of red-spotted anadromous tVout is found in the rivers of 

 Kamtschatka. According to Pallas it is known to the Russians as the 

 malma or golet. In numy respects it resembles the present species.

 first ray of dorsal. Head small and conical. Mouth quite small. Teeth

 sides brighter, belly whit?. The whole fish quite silvery. Scales small, 

 but larger than in S. fontinaUs. They are firmly adherent, and quite 

 conspicuous. Flanks of adults above and below the median line cov- 

 ered with light spots about the size ot peas — those in alcohol appearing 

 as if they had been of a cream or orange color during life. 



Integument over first ray of pectorals of a light orange or reddish 

 color ; that over the next ray dark. Female nearly similar. 



DiAGNOSi s. — Woidd not be easily confounded with any Atlantic

 larger, more adherent, and thicker scales.
