Ueve it spawns in the spring, as in the middle of October, when I left 
Lake Southerland, the eggs of the females we caught were not enlarged, 
and no indication of the approach of the spawning season.” (Meek.) 
Length 1 to 2 feet. 
Known only from Southerland Lake, ‘Washington, where 23 specimens 
were collected in 1898 by Professor Elliot. 
(“Named for Dr. D. S. Jordan, president of Stanford University, who, 
more than anyone else, has studied our 'Western trout.”) (ileek.)

(Long-headed Trout of Crescent Lake.) 
Head 3.5 to 3.8; depth 5.10 to 5.75; eye G.75 to 7.60; snout 3.33; maxil- 
lary 1.66; scales 150 to 152; gill-rakers 7 or 8 + 11 to 13; branchiostegals 
9 to 11; D. 10; A. 11. Body elongate, slender; head much pointed; an- 
terior margin of upper jaw slightly above axis of the body; maxillary 
verj’ long and very slender, reaching considerably beyond posterior i»art 
of the orbit, its greatest width 7 in its length; about 21 teeth ou maxil- 
lary; teeth ou jaws, vomer, and palatines large, the dentition much 
stronger than in si)ecimeus of Sahno gairdneri crescentis of same size; man- 
dible very strong; opercle very broad and contains the eye lU; preopercu- 
lum narrow, less than diameter of the eye ; gill-rakers very short and thick ; 
last ray of dorsal less than half longest rays, third raj' longer than base 
of tin; when depressed, second and third raj' tips reach beyond middle of 
last dorsal ray; pectoral in head; veutrals 2i. Color much as in S. 
gairdneri creseenlis, except lighter. Head, body, and tail profuselj' sjiotted 
with black spots; r entrals and pectorals dark. No. 2036 (Field Museum) 
has fewer spots, none ou anal and pectoral ; anterior part of upper jaw vcrj' 
dark, darker than in the larger specimen. This species differs from S. 
gairdneri crescentis in being much more slender, its back much less elevated, 
head more slender and pointed, gill-rakers shorter, maxillary straighter, 
narrower, and longer. The general color pattern is the same, except 
that this species is less spotted and lighter. No red ou the under jaw; 
the dentition is much stronger in this species than in S. gairdneri crescentis.

Prof. D. G. Elliot gives the following interesting note ou this trout : 
“This is a deep-water fish, keeping always near the bottom. Lake 
Crc.scent is of great depth, in some places over 700 feet, and doubtless 
much more in, others not yet ascertained. The present species, unlike, 
other trout, does not come to the surface, as I was informed, at any 
season of the j'ear, and will not of course take a lly, or indeed a spoon, or 
anj- kind of lure. The onlj' waj' it can be cai)tured is by set-lines sunk 
within a foot of the bottom, and it seems that there are oulj' a few ])laces 
in the lake where it can be caught even by this means. The specimens
