Genus (ms'ri\(>.MKR Gill & -Jordan 



This genus contains one or two species, large, coarse chars, 

 distinguished from S a 1 a* e 1 i n u s by the presence of a raised 

 crest behind the head of the vomer and free from the shaft; this 

 crest is armed with teeth. The hjoid teeth constitute a strong, 

 cardiforui band. The typical species is a large char or trout, 

 spotted with gray instead of red, and found in the larger lakes 

 of eastern North America. (After Jordan and Evermann) 



The species n a m a y c u s h is found also in a lake (Henry) 

 in Idaho, in the Columbia river basin, and northwestward to 

 northern Alaska.
