168 SALMONIDiE. 



ductory remarks concerning the existence of a distinct Salmon 

 in Sebago Lake, near Portland, in Maine, known as the Sebago 

 Trout, and which I proposed to designate as Salmo Sebago, is 

 fully carried out by the information which I have received 

 since writing those remarks, from a thorough sportsman, well 

 acquainted with all the described species. 



He assures me that the waters of that lake did contain a 

 Salmon closely resembling the Salmo Salar, but which has in 

 all probability become extinct. At the date of his writing, he 

 was about to set forth on a visit to the lake, and should a fish 

 be procurable, I shall receive it, although not in time to include 

 it in the body of the work, at least in season to be embodied in 

 the Appendix.
