 exceeds, in size, the true Sulniun [Salnto Salar), and is In- far the 

 largest of all the lacustrine or non-migratory S(i/iiif/nit/(p, is 

 found in all the great lakes to the northward and westward of 

 Lake Erie, to tlic fur countries and the arctic rcirion. It is

 the Mississippi or the Missouri. I doidit not at all that it 

 exists in the waters of the (tn>at Hausin and the Columbia, and
