OTHER SALMON I D;. 



The salmon family includes other fishes than the 

 salmons, chars and trouts. This is not the place to go 

 into, the common characters of the different genera and 

 species, but we may say that a few of these characters 

 are an adipose second dorsal fin, stomach siphonal, with 

 15 to 200 pyloric appendages ; no oviduct. The genera 

 are : Coregonus, the white fishes, seven species, and 

 Thymallus, the graylings, perhaps three species. Once 

 the smelt was included, but is not now.

 fish being found in America. He named it T. tricolor, 

 I was then breeding trout in Monroe County, N. Y. In
