SUCKLEY MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS SALMO. 119 



der tbe name of ^Salar spectabiUs. I cannot recognize the genera Salar 

 or Fario, for reasons which have been given already 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 about the same average circumference as a small 

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

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

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

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

 are caught most abundantly during the months of October and jSTovem- 

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

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

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

 saying a great deal. 



A species of red-spotted anadromous trout is found in the rivers of 

 Kamtscbatka. According to Pallas it is known to the Kussians as tiie 

 malnia or golet. In many respects it resembles the present species.

 Dorsal outline strongly arched, its point of greatest height being at the 

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

 small ; a few on the head of the vomer ; none on its shaft. Two rows of 

 teeth on the tongue. Tail broad, and usually barred. In some speci- 

 mens the bars appear to have faded out. Upper parts dark (bluish !), 

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

 but larger than in S. fontiiiaUs. 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. — Would not be easily confounded with any Atlantic 

 species except S. fontinalis, but has a smaller head, larger spots, and 

 larger, more adherent, and thicker scales.
