is distinct from any desoribed previous to Dr. Prescott's paper. There 

 is also in the Saiithsoniau collection a jar, numbered 3588, on the fish 

 catalogue, a lot of trout from Avhat is su[>po8ed to be Lake George, Xew 

 York, but the locality is somewhat uncertain, owing to the obliteratiou 

 * of the writing on the first label. They, however, resemble the S. sym 

 metrica so closely that I have had no hesitation in labeling them as 

 such. The light markings, common to the fish when fresh caught, ap- 

 l^arently fade out in alcohol. 



Note. — Since writing the foregoing, a reference to S. hoodii has caused 

 regret that no indisputable specimens of that fish could be obtained for 

 comijarisou.
