Jordan and Evermann. — Fishes of Ehorth America. 314:7 
Color in spirits: Back tlai’k near the median line, below this somewhat 
reddish; rest of body below a line from shoulder to upper base of caudal 
silvery; some golden on snout and behind eye; no lateral band. 
This species has a general resemblance to Stolejihoriis productns, but is 
uuquestionably distinct from it; the anal is much shorter and inserted 
farther back, the body is deeper, the eye larger, and the snout longer. 
It is very close to StoUphorus (jUherti, Evermann & Marsh, differing chieliy 
in the larger eye, in the color of the back, and the somewhat less sharplj'' 
compressed belly. 
Puerto Rico; only the type, a specimen i.o inches long, known. This 
was collected by the U. S. Fish Commission expedition to Puerto Rico at 
Puerto Real, January 27, 1899. (Named for Prof. Samuel Carman, of the 
Museum of Comparative Zoology.)

(Salmon' Trout of L.\ke Southerland.) 
Head 3.8; depth 4.6; eye 5.14; snout 4.5; maxillary 1.6; scales 148; 
D.IO; A. 11 ; brauchiostegals 10; gill-rakers 7 + 10. Body elongate, back 
elevated, anterior profile much decurved, especially so from nape forward; 
tip of snout below axis of body ; margiu of upper lip on a level with lower 
margin of orbit; gape nearly horizontal, more so than in other trout; 
maxillary broad, its greatest width 5 in its length, its posterior end reach- 
ing beyond eye; dentition strong; posterior margin of dorsal fin straight; 
tip of second ray reaching middle of last ray in the depressed fin, the last 
ray 24 in longest ray; pectoral 1.67 in head; ventral 2.25. Color dark 
blue above and on side to lateral line anteriorly, and to a short distance 
above lateral line posteriorly, then becoming abruptly silvery; belly 
nearly white; no spots on head or body, none on any of the fins, except a 
few on caudal fin; upper margin of lower jaw black, a dark blue patch 
on cheek, extending obli()uely upward and backward to near top of 
opercle; pectoral, ventrals, and anal yellowish. 
The general color of this species much reseudjles that of the Blue Back 
of Lake Crescent. It is some darker, has no spots, except on caudal fin, 
and the upper anterior profile is much more curved. 
Professor Elliot gives the following note on this trout: 
“This trout is occasionally taken in Lake Southerland, and is called the 
‘Salmon Trout.’ It is easily recognizable, not only by the sharply curved 
upi>er outline of the fore part of the body, but also by its quite difl’erent 
style of coloration, resembling, as stated above, somewhat the style of the 
Blue Back of Lake Crescent. As there is no water connection between 
these lakes, and Lake Southerland is 75 feet lower than Crescent, and, 
moreover, the fish of that lake having no communication with the sea, on 
account of a very high jmecipitous fall a sliort distance from its outlet, it 
can not be suppo.sed that these two forms are in any way identical. Out
