THE TALE OF THE FISHES 



oles. The dorsal fin is barred as in the case of the 

 brook trout. 



Dr. Kendall is preparing a monograph on this 

 species, illustrated with colored plates. 



Specimens of the Lake Christine trout, received by 

 the author on February 2 1 st, 1916, through the courtesy 

 of Hon. Frank J. Beal, Commissioner of Fisheries and 

 Game in the State of New Hampshire, closely resemble 

 the brook trout, but differ from that fish principally in 

 the shape of the tail, the absence of mottling on the dark 

 back, and the peculiar sea-green cast. The red spots 

 are numerous and haloed in blue. The fish might well 

 be described as almost a fontinalis.
