always present in the adult and is usually 
diagnostic. Of the sixteen or more kinds 
of Cutthroat trout, at least six occur in 
California. These are: The Clark Cut- 
throat {Salmo clarki), apparently found 
only in the Pit, Eel, Klamath and per- 
haps other streams in northern Cali- 
fornia; the Tahoe trout (Salmo hen- 
slnm'i), of Lake Tahoe and connecting 
waters; the Silver trout (Salmo taho- 
ensis), of deep waters in Lake Tahoe 
and reaching a great size; the Royal 
Silver trout of Lake Tahoe (Salmo 
regalis), deep blue above, silvery on 
sides, and with few or no spots on the 
body; the Eagle Lake trout (Salmo aqui- 
lanison), known only from Eagle Lake 
where it is rare ; and the Colorado River 
trout (Salmo pleiiriticiis) , known only 
from the Colorado basin. 
All these are fine game fish, the best 
known and most popular being the Tahoe 
trout. 
Of the Rainbow group about eight 
species are recognized as occurring in 
California. They are : the original Rain- 
bow of San Leonardo Creek (Salmo 
ircdciis), and perhaps of other coastal 
streams; the Shasta Rainbow (Salmo 
shasta), from the McCloud and other 
streams of northern California; the No- 
shee trout (Salmo stonei), of the Mc- 
Cloud and other tributaries of the upper 
Sacramento; the Kern River trout (Sal- 
mo gilbcrti), known only from the Kern 
River, and perhaps from the Kings and 
the Kaweah ; the Little Kern Golden 
trout (Salmo whitei), from the western 
tributaries of the Kern ; the South Eork 
of Kern Golden trout (Salmo agua- 
bonifa), of the South Fork of Kern and 
Cottonwood Lakes into which it has been 
introduced ; the real Golden trout 
(Salmo roosevelti) , native only to Vol- 
cano Creek ; and the San Gorgonio trout 
(Salmo evermanni), known only from 
the upper Santa Ana River on Mount 
San Gorgonio. 
Of the Steelhead group only one 
species (Salmo' gairdneri) has been 
recognized in California waters, al- 
though it would not be surprising if 
recognizable differences will be discov- 
ered when we carefully compare speci- 
mens from widely separated streams, as 
the Ventura, the Sacramento, the Klam- 
ath, and the Columbia. It may well be 
that we are not justified in assuming that 
the Steelhead of the Columbia is iden- 
tical with the Steelhead or Steelheads of 
California streams.

fishing this way,” he said as his pony 
drew alongside of mine. “And the 
best of it is, a snake has not a chance 
to get near us here as both of these 
cracker ponies can smell one a mile.” 
We finally came to the hanks of a 
typical Florida stream ; its black surface 
fairly shining like polished ebony. My 
mare did not seem to understand what 
was going on at first, but she was quick 
to learn as she had been shot over for 
several years and was thoroughly 
broken.
