348 GAME FISH OF NORTH AMERICA. 



Hood's Salmon. — Salmo hoodii. Richardson. 



This species properly belongs to the Atlantic coast fauna, and 

 is found from Canada northward. A good description is given by 

 Richardson in Fauna Bor. Amer. z'n., p. 173. 



Newberry's Trout. — Salmo neiuberryi. Girard. 



This is a doubtful species found in Klamath River, and may be 

 the S. iridea. 



This fish is found in Payette Lake, Idaho, and in the Wallowa 

 and Isabel Lakes, in the Wallowa Valley, eastern Oregon. Very 

 little appears to be known of it. They are common enough in 

 Alaska, where they run up the rivers from August to October, to 

 spawn. It is barely possible that they are not identical with the 

 Idaho and Oregon fish, though their habits are similar and their 

 period of spawning about the same. They evidently belong to the 

 family of Salmonidce, and we so classify them. The fullest infor- 

 mation yet published about them was furnished by the Idaho 

 World, a paper published at Silver City, from which we quote : 



About a hundred miles to the northward of Idaho City is 

 " Payette Lake," as beautiful a sheet of water as can be found. 

 This lake is the largest of a cluster of four or five situated in its 

 immediate vicinity, and is about twelve miles in length by three 

 miles (average) in width. It is both fed and drained by the North 

 fork of the Payette River, which passes directly through it. Its 

 waters are said to be hundreds of feet deep, and are as clear as 

 the most finely polished mirror. The countiy around the lake is 

 mountainous, and the scenery varied, but picturesque and beauti- 

 ful. In it is found a species of fish known here b^ the name of 

 " redfish," an appellation derived by their color, which is a beau- 

 tiful vermilion, with the exception of the head and fins, which are 

 of a dark earthy green color. The habits are similar to those of 

 the salmon, and like the salmon they spawn and then die. The 

 male and female are easily distinguishable, the colors of the male 

 being much brighter than those of the female. They live in the 

 deep water in the lake, and we have no account of one ever hav- 

 ing been seen in the lake only when coming up out of the water
