Two fine trout derived from Salmo clarkit have been lately 
discovered by Dr. Daniel G. Elliot in Lake Southerland, a moun- 
tain lake near Lake Crescent, but not connected with it, the 
two separated from the sea by high waterfalls. These have 
been described by Dr. Seth E. Meek as Salmo jordani, the 
“spotted trout’? of Lake Southerland, and Salmo declivifrons, - 
the ‘‘salmon-trout.’’ These seem to be distinct forms or sub- 
species produced through isolation.
