FISHES OF NEW YORK 271 



In the Newfound lake fish we have : 



B. 11; D. 11; A. 10 (counting divided rays only); V. i, 8; P. 1, 12. 

 Scales 26-105-34 (about 150 tubes); gill rakers, 9+13, the long- 

 est a little more than one half the length of eye, the one in the 

 angle club-shaped at the tip. It is a male with spermaries mod- 

 erately small but soft. The body is gray, darker on the back. 

 The outer edge of the pectoral and ventral and the front margin 

 of the anal are white as in f o n t i n a 1 i s . A white tip to the 

 lower caudal lobe and a very small one at the top of the dorsal. 

 Otherwise the coloration is like that of ordinary lake trout, 

 which have the pectoral, ventral and anal chiefly vermilion in 

 the breeding season. 



The male from Winnepesaukee lake has: 



B. 12 to 13; D. 10; A. 10; V. i, 8; P. 12. Gill rakers 8+12, the 

 longest about one half as long as the eye. The ground color is a 

 little lighter than in the Newfound lake trout, and the vermilion 

 of the pectorals, ventrals and anal is less intense. The sper- 

 maries are larger than in the specimen from Newfound, and in 

 about the same stage of development; the body is considerably 

 stouter. 



The female from Roxbury Vt. shows the following additional 

 characters. ^ 



B. 12; D. 10; A. 10; V. i, 8. Gill rakers 8+12, the longest 

 exactly one half as long as the eye. The eggs and ovaries are 

 small as in young females. The pectorals, ventrals and anal are 

 chiefly vermilion, as in the male from Newfound lake. The body 

 is silvery gray with numerous small, whitish spots, these present 

 also on the dorsal. 



Hon. H. W. Sage is authority for the information that the 

 lake trout was formerly common in the lake near Ithaca. About 

 1830 a large individual was found stranded in Ca3'uga lake inlet, 

 about H miles from the lake.

Body moderately elongate; mouth large or small; teeth of 

 jaws, palatines, and tongue essentially as in S a 1 m o , the hyoid
