SUCKLEY MONOGRAPH OF THE GKNUS SALMO. 159 



is distinct from any described previous to Dr. Prescott's paper. Tliere 

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

 catalogue, a lot of trout from what is supposed to be Lake Geoige, New 

 York, but the locality is somewhat uncertain, owing- to the obliteration 

 of the writing on the first label. They, however, resemble the >S'. fiym 

 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- 

 parently fade out in alcohol. 



Note. — Since writing the foregoing, a reference to 8. lioodii has caused 

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

 comparison.
