elevated, deeper, and less compressed than in S. fontinalis. Head large, 

 snout broad, flattened above. Mouth large, the maxillary reaching past, 

 the eye. Fins short ; the caudal fin slightly forked or almost truncate ; 

 adipose fin usually large ; in large specimens its length is twice that of the 

 eye. General color olivaceous ; the sides with round red spots nearly the 

 size of the eye, the back commonly with smaller pale ones, a feature of 

 coloration which distinguishes this species at once from the others ; lower 

 fins colored as in S. fontinalis, dusky, with a pale stripe in front, followed 

 by a dark one ; sea-run specimens silvery, with the spots faint or obso- 

 lete; fins and back without dark reticulations. Gill covers without con- 

 centric striae. Length 5 to 20 inches. Streams east and west of the Cascade 

 Range from the Upper Sacramento to Montana, Alaska, and Kamchatka, 

 generally abundant northward, descending to the sea, where it reaches a 

 weight of about 12 pounds. One of the most beautiful and active of all 

 the SalmonidoB. In small mountain brooks, dwarf forms occur (as var. 

 lordii, etc.), but it is not necessary to distinguish these by separate names.
