Jordan and Evermann. Fishes of North America. 3147 



Color in spirits: Back dark near the median Hue, below this somewhat 

 reddish; rest of body below a line from shoulder to upper base of caudal 

 silvery; some golden on snout and behind eye; 110 lateral band. 



This species has a general resemblance to StolepJionts productns, but is 

 unquestionably distinct from it; the anal is much shorter and inserted 

 farther back, the body is deeper, the eye larger, and the snout longer. 

 It is very close to Stolepliorus gilberti, Evermann & Marsh, differing chiefly 

 in the larger eye, in the color of the back, and the somewhat less sharply 

 compressed belly. 



Puerto Rico ; only the type, a specimen 4.5 inches long, known. This 

 was collected by the U. S. Fish Commission expedition to Puerto Rico at 

 Puerto Real, January 27, 1899. (Named for Prof. Samuel Garman, of the 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology.)

(SALMON TROUT OP LAKE SOUTHERLAND.) 



Head 3.8; depth 4.6; eye 5.14; snout 4.5; maxillary 1.6; scales 148; 

 D. 10; A. 11 ; branchiostegals 10; gill-rakers 7 + 10. Body elongate, back 

 elevated, anterior profile much decurved, especially so from nape forward; 

 tip of snout below axis of body ; margin of upper lip on a level with lower 

 margin of orbit; gape nearly horizontal, more so than in other trout; 

 maxillary broad, its greatest width 5 in its length, its posterior end reach- 

 ing beyond eye; dentition strong; posterior margin of dorsal tin straight; 

 tip of second ray reaching middle of last ray in the depressed fin, the last 

 ray 2 in longest ray; pectoral 1.67 in head; ventral 2.25. Color dark 

 blue above and on side to lateral line anteriorly, and to a short distance 

 above lateral line posteriorly, then becoming abruptly silvery; belly 

 nearly white; 110 spots on head or body, noue on any of the fins, except a 

 few on caudal fin; upper margin of lower jaw black, a dark blue patch 

 on cheek, extending obliquely upward and backward to near top of 

 opercle; pectoral, ventrals, and anal yellowish. 



The general color of this species much resembles that of the Blue Back 

 of Lake Crescent. It is some darker, has no spots, except on caudal fin, 

 and the upper anterior profile is much more curved. 



Professor Elliot gives the following note on this trout: 



"This trout is occasionally taken in Lake Southerland, and is called the 

 ' Salmon Trout.' It is easily recognizable, not only by the sharply curved 

 upper outline of the fore part of the body, but also by its quite different 

 style of coloration, resembling, as stated above, somewhat the style of the 

 Blue Back of Lake Crescent. As there is no water connection between 

 these lakes, and Lake Southerland is 75 feet lower than Crescent, and, 

 moreover, the fish of that lake having no communication with the sea, on 

 account of a very high precipitous fall a short distance from its outlet, it 

 can not be supposed that these two forms are in any way identical. Out
