the two races habitually live; one is the slim, dark colored 

 tuladi, and the other the common lake trout of the Great lakes 

 region. 



It is necessary, however, to call attention to the lake trout 



from northern Vermont which furnished one of the series of 

 measurements given below. The gill rakers in that example are 

 few in number and unusually short, four or five on each side 

 being reduced to mere spiny tubercles. 



The following table gives dimensions in inches.
