SALMONIDJE.

38, fig. 123, as well as from his description of its coloring, I have no 

 hesitation in pronouncing it far more nearly connected with the Siska- 

 witz of Prof. Agassiz, than with any other of its congeners, although 

 the elongated head, the shape of the fins, and especially the lobe-like 

 formation of the caudal, clearly distinguishes it from this species. 



It is to be regretted, however, that in the work of the magnitude 

 and importance of the New York Fauna of the State of New York, 

 the plates should be, as they are, so atrociously executed, that for 

 matters of scientific examination they are all but useless, while as 

 pictorial illustrations, they are below contempt. 



NOTE TO REVISED EDITION. See Supplement. Art. Lake Trout, Salmo 

 Confinis. The quality of this fish differs entirely with the different waters 

 from which it is taken. In the New England waters, it is generally bad. In 

 Seneca Lake, and the Hamilton County waters, unequivocally admirable, and 

 exceeded neither by Sea Salmon nor Brook Trout.
