other known species of trout, nonimbricated, and scarcely showing 

 unless dry; there are aboul 50 in an oblique series from fronl of dor- 

 sal downward and backward to Lateral line, and 4<i from the Lateral 

 Line downward and backward to tin- base of the ventrals; there are 

 aboul 200 scales in the Lateral Line, 1 I 11 to I"' 1 ' of them having pores. 



Color in Life, back, top of head, and upper pari of side very Light 

 yellowish olive: middle of the side from gill-opening to adipose fin 

 with a broad brighl rosy band, the greatest width of which is about 

 equal to greatesl diameter of orbil ; side In-low lateral line bright 

 golden yellow, fading below into yellowish white; belly with a broad 

 cadmium or deep orange-red band from throal to anal fin. tlie color 

 deepesl between pectoral and ventral; some red on belly In-iween 

 origin of anal and base of caudal; aboul 1" roundish or vertically 

 oblong parr-marks on middle of side, upon which apparently the 

 rosy Lateral band is superimposed; 3 of these parr-marks are on the 

 caudal peduncle, posterior to the adipose fin, 2 between the adipose 

 and dorsal fins, 2 under the dorsal, and 3 anterior to it: between the 

 first and seem id large parr-marks and somewhat below them is a 

 small round spot of the same color, and there is a similar one between 

 the fifth and sixth spots: cheek and opercles bright rosy, edged pos- 

 teriorly and below with yellowish, an olivaceous blotch on upper part 

 of cheek and a small black spot on upper part of opercle; region about 

 eye olivaceous yellow, especially below; lower jaw rosy, with some 

 yellowish, membrane between rami of lower jaw whitish, without 

 rosy wash, tip of lower jaw olivaceous: mouth on sides and below 

 tongue orange, whitish elsewhere: side of caudal peduncle with about 

 30 small roundish black spots, these most numerous on posterior half, 

 there being only 3 anterior to the adipose dorsal fin; rest of body 

 entirely without spots: dorsal fin with about 6 irregular series of 

 small roundish black spots, those toward the distal portion largest 

 and blackest; general color of dorsal fin light olivaceous yellow, the 

 tips of the anterior rays with a broad margin of whitish orange; 

 adipose dorsal olivaceous, narrowly bordered with black, and with 2 

 small round black spots; caudal fin profusely spotted with black, 

 the spots arranged irregularly in about 8 or 1<> vertical rows: those 

 at the have blackest and roundest, those on the distal edge somewhat 

 linear, those on the outer edges of the lobes extending forward onto the 

 dorsal and ventral lines of the caudal peduncle; general color of 

 caudal fin yellowish and olivaceous, the lower lobe somewhat rosy; 

 pectoral red, somewhat lighter than lateral band: ventral reddish, the 

 anterior rays edged with white; anal reddish with a little orange, the 

 anterior half or two thirds broadly ft\-<-<\ with white. 



There is not much variation in color, except such as is probably 

 due to difference in age ; the rosy lateral band, the parr-marks, and the
