264 Storer’s Observations on the Fishes of Nova Scotia 
confounded by the fishermen with the Lamprey. We caught 
a fine specimen by the hook, and observed many others cast 
up on the beaches. 
12. CrENoLABRUS ccRuLEUs De Kay. 
Cuvier received specimens from Newfoundland ; Dr. Storer 
next mentioning it as in the waters of Maine, whence it ranges 
southerly as far as New York. It is so plentiful in the Gut 
of Canso, that by sinking a basket with a salt fish tied therein 
for bait, we continually caught them by the score; and by 
putting a few hundreds into the “ well” of our little sloop, 
we kept ourselves, the dogs, and a hawk (Falco Sancti Jo- 
hannis) well supplied with fresh fish whilst at sea. 
13. Hyprarcyra ornata Lesueur. 
A species found, thus far, but from Delaware to Massachu- 
setts. It is abundant along the shores of the Gut of Canso. 
I have since taken it also in Maine. 
14. Saumo satar Lin. 
Everywhere along the Labrador coast. 
15. Satmo rowrINALIs Mitch. 
This trout, the common species of the New England States, 
has not hitherto been noticed farther to the eastward than. 
Maine. Richardson found it in Lake Huron, and, of late, 
Agassiz in Lake Superior. It is abundant in all the streams 
of the Southern Labrador coast, and often attains a large size- 
In the stomachs of several I found the bodies of full grown 
water mice. The cod fishers sometimes seine them at the 
brook mouths by hundreds. 
16. Saruo mmacunarus H, R. Storer. 
Color. Silvery on sides and abdomen ; darker on back. 
No spots, : | |
