49. Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill). Broolc trout. A few specimens are occasionally caught in 
McCloud Run, near Cedar Rapids, which, is fed by a large spring. In former years a great 
many fishes were hatched artificially at this place, and the trout now taken were probably 
introduced at that time.
