SALMONID.'E. 



Mr. Elliot Cabot of Boston, who accompanied Professor Agassiz 

 on tlie tour above mentioned, and from tlie notes of that 

 gentleman. 



It is trusted that this notice, although brief, of an entirely 

 new Salmo, will prove satisfactory both to the sportsman and to 

 the naturalist ; and if the mention of its peculiarities may induce 

 the gentle anglers of this country to pay a little more attention 

 to the structural differences of fishes, so as to lead to the 

 discovery of new species, several of which, it can hardly be 

 doubted, remain still nondescript in the unfrequented waters of 

 this mighty laud, some good will have been done to the great 

 cause of science.
