* The literature relating to this fish is so extensive that it has been found necessary to omit a 

 considerable number of the references. 



f The synonymy of the land-locked races of this species will be given when the Lake.Wenern 

 variety is described, but it must here be remarked that Salmo venemensis, Giinther, was named by 

 that gentleman upon the erroneous supposition that he was examining this form, whereas his 

 specimens were those of lake trout. The Penobscot and Sebago salmon of the American continent 

 are likewise varieties of 8. salar, but do not attain to the dimensions of those present in Lake 

 Wenem.
