No. 04. Eed-banded trout. Little Sacramento, at Frye's Upper Soda 

 Springs, October 9, 1872. Abundant. Caught all the months in the 

 year. All the trout at this part of the Sacramento have the red band 

 at all seasons of the year. These trout are caught with artificial fly, 

 and the ordinary trout-fishing bait ; salmon roe being found the most 

 effective of the natural bait. Mr. Sisson says that the flesh of these 

 fish is sometimes white and sometimes red. Mr. Frye says that this is 

 the same trout that he has caught all the way up and down the Califor- 

 nia coast. 



No. 65. Eed-banded trout. October 9, 1372. Little Sacramento 

 Eiver, near the hotel kept by Mr. Isaac F. Frye, at Upper Soda Springs.

No. 68. Common name, salmon-trout. McCloud. Indian name, 

 wye-dar-deelc-if, which means the fish from the North, this variety 

 being caught only in the head or northern Vaters of the McCloud. 

 The local name at Soda Springs is the " Dolly Yarden " trout. Head- 

 waters of the McCloud Eiver, September 1, 1872. This specimen is 

 salted, and is the same as No. 27, but in the lower waters of the 

 McCloud, where No. 27 was caught, it is rare and exceptional, while 

 at the head- waters of the river it is common. (See note.) The spawn 

 in this fish were large and almost ripe. These fish are thought to some- 

 times attain a size of 20 pounds. One was caught which weighed 5 

 pounds ; another which weighed 11 pounds. They are considered very 

 fine eating at Soda Springs. The salted one which I ate was certainly 

 very fine. (See No. 27.) 



No. 68. I waa told tliat at the head- waters of the McCloud, there is a beautif iit silvery 

 trout beside the " Dolly Vardeu," called the " silver-trout." (Sec uote to No. 47.) 



No. 69. There is no number 69. 



No. 70. Trout. October 10, 1872. Head-waters of the Sacramento. 



No. 71. Water-ouzel. October 10, 1872. Indian name sours-sinny. 

 Head-waters Sacramento, October 10, 1872. At a distance the water- 

 ouzels seemed to be almost the color of the rocks on which they stand 

 and look for food. They have a peculiar note like a child's rattle, but at 

 times sing beautifully.
