upper margin very slightly concave, the last ray 2 in the longest; adipose 

 fin over end of anal, its width about \ its length, which is about equal to 

 eye ; pectoral 7 to 7^ in body length ; ventral under middle of dorsal, not 

 nearly reaching vent, its length 2 in head; caudal emarginate, its middle 

 rays \ the outer; anal scarcely concave when expanded. Pyloric caica 

 22; brauchiostegals 12; gill rakers 6 -{-10, the longest less than \ eye. 

 Color bluish gray above, whitish below ; the sidevS with numerous large 

 white spots, some of which are f as large as eye. (Beau & Bean.) 



This species is said to be common from Kamchatka northward, but only 

 6 specimens are actually extant, 4 obtained at Petropaulski by Dr. Leon- 

 hard Stejueger and 1 by Col. N. Grebnitski, and now in the United States 

 National Museum, and 1 obtained from Tareinsky Bay by Mr. Gerald E. 

 H. Barrett-Hamilton and now in the museum of Stanford University.

The true Salvelinus malma is very common at Unalaska, Kadiak, Kom- 

 andorski Islands, and Petropaulski. Specimens from these various places 

 are all alike. Head 4J to 4^; depth 4 to 4f. Spots grayish, tinged with 

 red, much smaller than eye. Caudal well forked; lower fins short; pec- 

 toral reaching halfway to vent. Hyoid teeth present. The head seems 

 much shorter than in examples from the United States. The dwarf form 

 from the little brook (Pyramid Creek) at the head of Captains Harbor 

 agrees fully in form with largo examples taken in the sea about Unalaska. 

 The small ones are brighter in color and mature at 4 to 6 inches. The form 

 occurring throughout the northwestern United States, and described on 

 page 508 as Salvelinus malma, should apparently be regarded as a species 

 distinct from S. malma, and would stand

 Page 515. Add this footnote to Salvelinus oquassa marstoni: 



A specimen of Salmo marstoni sent me some days ago indicates a more distinct species 

 than was at first supposed. This is the most slender of our charrs, apparently the swift- 

 est. The male is gorgeous ; brilliant red extends upon the back and onto the dorsal and 

 caudal fins as well as upon the other fins. Though quite distinct, the species is nearer 

 to S. oquasxa than any other. (Garman, in lit., March 24. 1895.)
