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



855 



sioii oil the McCloud River? Our trout tbere 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 

 shouhl not be represented among the thousands of trout in the ponds, 

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

 contain but one variety of trout. 



Leaving this subject here for the present, I will merely add 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 hue 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.
