numbers in the Delaware, its presence in these streams is due to 

 artificial introduction as it is most likely not native south of the 

 New England rivers. I have several records of examples from 

 off Cape May and in the Delaware tide-water. They are said to 

 enter the Delaware and Hudson in April for the purpose of 

 spawning-. Mr. J. M. Stratton says that several years ago atlan- 

 tic salmon were planted in the Delaware River and some were 

 caught a few years later, but at the present time he doubts if any 

 are in New Jersey waters.

Salmo salar sebago (Girard). 



Land Locked Salmon. 



This presents no' characters of structural importance differing 

 from the preceding species. It differed perhaps in habits, smaller 

 size and rather more plump form. It is said to reach a weight of 

 25 pounds and seldom enters streams. It has been introduced into 

 the lakes in the northern part of the state.

This species of non-migratory salmon differs from the two 

 preceding chiefly in the well-developed persistent biconical 

 vomerine teeth. Introduced from Europe. It reaches a length 

 of 31 inches.
