TROUT-BREEDING ON THE m'cLOUD RIVER, CAL. 855 



si on on the McCloud River? Onr tront tliere liave been taken indis- 

 criminately from brook and river, and if there are two distinct varieties 

 in the river and its tributaries, it seems impossible that both varieties 

 should not be represented among the thousands of trout in the i)Ouds, 

 but they are not. Unless appearances are very deceptive, the ponds 

 contain but one variety of trout. 



Leaving this subject here for tlie present, I will merely tuld in con- 

 clusion that a large number of wild breeders have been caught in the 

 river during the last year and placed in the ponds ; that all the trout 

 are now in fine condition, and that there is a flattering prospect of 

 taking an excellent lot of eggs during the next spawning season, which 

 promises to come on very soon.
