OTHER FISH AND GAME 255 



salmon and ouananiche by some of the settlers on the 

 Jacques Cartier River in Tewkesbury. There is no 

 reason to doubt that in the larger lakes of the park 

 they may attain to the same size that they reach in 

 other waters in this province, where they have been 

 taken up to thirty and even forty pounds in weight. 

 Mr. Lefebvre, of the Crown Lands Department, re- 

 ports taking the true red trout (Salmo fontinalis) up 

 to eight and three-quarter pounds in the grand lake 

 Jacques Cartier, and no doubt ten and twelve pound 

 fish of the same species are also to be had there. 



It will be matter for no surprise if the newly dis- 

 covered Salmo salvelinus Marstonii, the most beauti- 

 ful of all American or Canadian trouts, should be 

 found to be a resident of some of the waters of this 

 park. So far, it is known to exist in the vicinity of 

 Templeton, Ottawa district, as well as in some of the 

 lakes of the Lake St. John district, and in waters in 

 the vicinity of Rimouski. If it does not already exist 

 in any of the lakes or rivers of the Laurentides Park, 

 it can be introduced into them without any difficulty. 



The ouananiche does not as yet inhabit any of them, 

 but, like the Marstonii trout, its introduction would 

 be quite an easy task. Its presence there would add 

 enormously to the attractions of the park for anglers. 

 Portions of the Jacques Cartier River and of other 

 streams in the park are admirably adapted for a hab- 

 itat of the petit saumon of Lake St. John. 



Lake Jacques Cartier may be reached by an entire- 

 ly different route from that described and followed by 

 John Burroughs. A drive of thirty miles from Quebec 

 in a different direction for its latter half from that
