 very; no red on lower jaw; a faint pink shade along

This specimen, male, was taken in Lake Crescent. 

 Length 26^ inches; weight in life 14 pounds. 



This specimen differs from a large gairdneri most in 

 the large scales. In addition the head is much larger, 

 and the body deeper. 



A fourth still larger specimen (No. 1865, L. S. Jr. Univ.), 

 an old spent male, 27 inches long, has been still later re- 

 ceived. It shows the following characters: 



D. 11; A. 12. Head 34 in length. Gill-rakers 8+12, 

 of medium size, rather broad but sharp pointed; opercle 

 2% in head; eye 7 in head; B. 11. Maxillary long, 

 reaching beyond the eye, 1^ in head, its width 9^ in 

 length. A double row of sharp teeth extending to within 

 a short distance of end, where they are replaced by a 

 single row of slightly larger teeth; teeth on tongue 

 rather large ; no teeth on hyoid ; teeth on vomer in zig- 

 zag series. Scales 26-137. 



This specimen, a spent male, has the flabby muscles 

 and slimy half concealed scales of the spent male salmon. 

 The dark dots are very numerous and small and show 

 very distinctly on back and sides, as also on head and 

 fins. There is a dull red lateral band on head and body. 

 This is about an inch broad, its outlines diffuse: A black 

 blotch on cheek; maxillary dusky with a red blotch to- 

 ward its tip. Lower jaw and branchiostegals dusky; 

 pectoral, ventral and anal dark; back dark green, belly 

 dusky.
