Tl)e Canadian Red Troaf. 



THE Canadian red trout from the chain of red lakes in St. Alexis des Monts, 

 P. 0., of which two figures are here given, is closely allied to, if not the 

 same species as, Salmo Marstoni from Lac de Marbre. It is thought likely 

 it will turn out a new species if the ichthyologists can procure enough material 

 to settle the point. 



This trout is certainly a very handsome fish and probably grows to a good size. 

 The larger specimen from which the drawing of the adult fish was made would 

 probably weigh a pound, and it doubtless grows much larger. By comparing the 

 figure of this fish with the one of the Sunapee trout figured in a previous report a 



good many points of similarity may be noted.
