278 NEW YORK STATE MUSEfUM 



The anal base is four ninths as long as the head; the last ray 

 of the fin is one half as long as the longest, which is one half 

 as long as the head. The pectoral reaches almost to below the 

 origin of the dorsal, its length two thirds of length of head. 

 Caudal deeply forked, its middle rays less than one half as long 

 as the outer, which are equal to length of head without the 

 snout. 



The fish is an immature male with about 10 oblong parr 

 marks on the sides and with a few narrow dark blotches simu- 

 lating half bands on the back from near the nape to a point 

 behind the dorsal fin; numerous pale spots along the middle of 

 the sides, each of which no doubt had a vermilion spot in the 

 cjenter in life. 



Sterling lake is in New York and New Jersey; and it was 

 stated that the trout are found in streams emptying into the 

 lake. This is noteworthy as being the only instance, as far as 

 known, of successful introduction of the saibling into our 

 waters.
