We received at tlie same time irom ]Mr, Green a specimen of tlie 

 small land-locked salmon, Oncorhiinchus kcnnerhji^ o\)t'M\\Q{\. by him in 

 Sluiwnigan Lake. This lake lies about 20 miles north of Victoria and 

 has no connection with the sea. 



I have also received from Mr. Green the skin of a large, white sea 

 bass, Gynoscion nobilis, taken in Sooke Harbor, 20 miles east of Vic- 

 toria. The fish weighed 45 pounds. It was found on the top of the water 

 in distress, its pectoral and caudal finshavingbeen bitten by thedog-(ish 

 sharks. This species had not previously been taken much north of 

 San Francisco, and its occurrence in Puget Sound is remarkable,
