(pp. 459—499); and the rear contour of its caudal fin is much more deeply concave than 

 that of the sea-run Salvelinus fontinalis (Fig. 128). The danger might be greater of 

 mistaking a stray for Salvelinus alpinus (Arctic charr), for while the head is somewhat 

 longer and the caudal fin more deeply concave in the Lake Trout than in the Arctic 

 charr, the contrasts between the two fish in these respects are not wide (Fig. 118; also 

 cf. Figs. 125, 126, 129). In case of doubt, cut open the body cavity and estimate 

 (even roughly) how many gastric coeca there are, for while the Lake Trout has about 

 120, the average for the Arctic charr is only about 39 (p. 510).
