'This is a large voracious trout of the rainbow series found in 

 the upper Sacramento basin, especially in the McCloud River 

 above Baird. It is much larger than typical irideus, and reaches 

 a weight of lo to 12 pounds, but is doubtfully distinct.

 chiefly to the posterior part of body; spots small and sparse on dor-

 cheek and opercles with red ; no red on throat."
