covery in some of them of species of trout of the Hud- 

 son Bay region. As Professor Garman says in a re- 

 cent letter, " We must look out for S. alpinus in the 

 St. Lawrence basin nowadays." This reference is to 

 the magnificent, introduced saibling of Sunapee Lake, 

 so admirably described for us by Professor Quacken- 

 bos and Mr. A. IS". Cheney. 



Many anglers and ichthyologists will no doubt be 

 glad to have the result of Professor Garman's exam- 

 ination of the new Canadian trout. Here it is : 



" Salmo (salvelinus) Marstonu, sp. n. 

 "B., 11 to 12; D.,13; A., 13 ; V.,9; P., 14. 



"The specimen described is close upon 12 inches long. Body 

 subfusiform, pointed at the snout, slender at the tail. The height 

 of the body is about one-sixth of the total length ; head one-fifth, 

 crown convex. Snout one and one - third, and interorbital space 

 one and one-half times the eye. Eye little less than one-fifth of the 

 head, two-thirds of the space between the orbits on the forehead. 

 Mouth large ; maxillary straight, reaching almost as far back as 

 the hinder edge of the eye, with strong teeth along its lower 

 edge nearly its entire length ; teeth on intermaxillary and mandi- 

 bles stronger. A series of four strong hooked teeth at each side of 

 the tongue and behind the glossohyal, on the basibranchials, a nar- 

 row band of several series of smaller ones. Gill rakers straight, 

 short, sharp, denticulate, 8x14 on the first arch. Opercle thin, 

 with few striae. Scales very small ; apparently there are about 

 230 in the series immediately above the lateral line, and more than 

 250 in one five or six scales above this. Distance from first ray of 

 dorsal to end of snout little more than that from the same ray to 

 the tip of the adipose fin. The middle of the total length falls half 

 way between the tip of the hinder rays of the dorsal and its base. 

 Dorsal and anal fins slightly emarginate at ends of median rays. 



"Pectorals and ventrals small ; base of latter slightly behind the 

 middle of that of dorsal. Caudal pedicel slender ; caudal notch
