mission for planting in Lake George, and 100 yearlings were 

 presented to the New York aquarium. 



A specimen taken in Green lake, Adirondack League Club 

 preserve, Herkimer co., July 29, 1899, was forwarded to the 

 U. S. Fish Commission, Washington D. C, and there described by 

 Dr W. C. Kendall, from whose notes the following account is 

 drawn. 



The total length of the specimen is llf inches. When first 

 taken it was reported to measure llf inches. The' body is 

 moderately elongate, its greatest depth contained three and 

 three fifths times in the total length to base of caudal. Head 

 large, slightly more than one third of total length to base of 

 caudal; eye rather large, about one fifth of length of head; 

 snout long, about three tenths of length of head; teeth on jaws, 

 palatines and tongue long, curved and sharp, those of the lower 

 jaw longest, shaft of vomer long with a zigzag row of sharp 

 teeth; gill rakers short, the longest one third of diameter of 

 iris, 4 + 11 on right side, 5 + 10 on left side. Hight of longest 

 dorsal ray tw^o thirds of length of head. Pectoral five eighths 

 as long as the head. B. 11-12; D. ii, 9; A. i, 8. Scales in lateral 

 line 115. 



General appearance of Saimo salar sebago, from 

 which it would probably not be distinguished by the casual ob-

CoVor in spirits, brownish on back, top of head and sides of 

 head; sides and belly very silvery; large roundish black spots 

 above lateral line forward and on cheeks and opercles; perpen-

 all spots most intense on edges of scales; posteriorly the spots 

 show only on the edges of the scales, being variously crescentic, 

 double or triple crescentic, X or double X shaped; fins pale 

 with slightly dusky tinge; dorsal with 5 transverse rows of 

 black spots. 



Mr De Witt, who sent the specimen, furnished the following
