I have ever seen in the Cascapediu salmon (with 

 the exception of color and size) is the position of 

 the adipose and the anal fin; these, I notice, are 

 much iK'aivr the tail in some than in others. 

 Whether it denotes a different variety or malfor- 

 mation, I am unable to say. 



The natives also tell me that in some seasons 

 they have known a good run of salmon to come 

 into the river in August, and even late in Septem- 

 ber they have seen my lower pools well stocked, 

 when in the early part of the month hardly a fish 

 could be seen in the same water. These fish may 

 have dropped back to spawn from higher up the 

 river, or they may have refused on account of the 

 logs to enter at low water, and waited outside until 

 nearly breeding-time. Not having been on the 

 river in September, I cannot tell why so many 

 occasionally appear at this time, but I do not be- 

 lieve there is generally in September on Canadian 

 rivers much of a run.
