7. The young redfish . 
Not until tills year have the young redfish ever been seen in the Columbia River basin by any 
naturalist. On .Inly 20 Messrs. Meek and Scofield did some seining in the outlet close to Alturas 
Lake in shallow water and found young redfish in considerable uumliers. The collections made 
that day contain 121 young redfish, varying in length from If^ to 2f inches and averaging 1[^ 
inches. 
The total length of each of these 124 is given in the following table. The last seven were taken 
at the head of the lake, near the inlet.

On September 9 we made two hauls with a large seine in Alturas Lake near the inlet. The seine 
was weighted so that it would sink to the bottom and it was then hauled in water 15 to GO feet 
deep, where the bottom was of fine white sand covered in most places with a heavy growth of 
Myriophyllum, Chara, etc. Young fish were found to be very abundant among the vegetation, 
the species taken being, in order of abirndance, Leuciscns halteatns, Catostonins macrocheilus, Coregonns 
ivilliamsoni, Ftychocheilus oregonensis, Onoorhynehus nerha, 0. tsohawytscha, Salmo mykiss, and Coitus hairdi 
imnctulatus. 
The total number of young redfish taken was 45, the total lengths and comparative measure- 
ments of which are given in the appended table. The smallest of these 45 fish measure 2f inches 
long, the largest 4f inches, and the average was 3-i-s% inches.
