2. Specimens from Griffl.n Lake, also nmloulitedly lateralis, are similar to those from 
Sioamous in color and proportions, being probably slightly more compressed and deeper. 
Many specimens of this genus are bright scarlet on the sides. There were taken in Griffin 
Lake 14 specimens with anal rays as follows: 3 with 14^; 7 with 15^; 3 with 16J; 1 with 174; 
75 mm. or less in length. The teeth in the main row are in all but one doubtful case, 5-4. 
3. Two specimens from Kamloops have the keel moderately developed, the teeth 2, 5-4. 2 
and 2, .5-3, 2; the anal rays, 174 and 184. 
4. One specimen from has teeth 2, .5-4, 1; anal, 15^; depth 4 in length. 
5. Golden. The position of the dorsal fin does not vary materially in any of the siiecimeus 
enumerated above, nor in baJieatus. In all the specimens examined this fin was equidistant 
from base of middle caudal and from a point from above the middle of the eye to nearly the 
occiput. At Golden I obtained a number of specimens in which there is very great variation 
in this point. The dorsal is equidistant from l)ase of middle caudal rays and from posterior 
margin of the eye in one extreme and from behind the occiput in the other. The specimens 
living in a milky river instead of a clear lake, as those at Sicamous, are much lighter and more 
uniform in color. The average number of anal rays is less than in the Sicamous specimens, as 
may be seen from the following table :

Twenty-three specimens taken at La Grande, in the Grand Ronde River, vary from 32 to 
108 mm. in length. Two have anal rays 144; six have 154; eleven, 164; four, 174. De^tth, 
3|-4; teeth in one specimen examined, 2, 5-4, 2; general color dark, markings well defined. 
Thirty-three specimens from Boise River at Caldwell show the greatest variation in anal 
rays without any great specialization in one number. They are as follows: one with 144- ; 
two Avith 154 ; six with 164; seymu with 174 ; eight with 184; seven with 194; two Avith 204; 
and one Avith 21-4. These specimens are rather flat and deep (depth 34 to 3J), approaching L. 
balteatns in this respect as Avell as in the number of anal rays. They are rather pale in color 
Avith the markings not distinct. Some of these specimens may belong more properly to 
balteatns, but I am not able to detect au 3 ^ ditiereuces save those mentioned. The Amutral keel 
in most of these specimens is no more evident than in specimens of L. montanus.

38. Hiodon alosoides (Rafinesque). Gold eye. Poplar, abundant ; D. 114 or 124, counting all rays ; 
lateral line about 60; depth, 34 to 34. This species is A-ery abundant in the Red River at 
Winnipeg; the largest specimen seen me.asured 370 mm.; head, 44-5 in largest specimens 
(44-44, in smaller, 230 mm. ) ; depth about 3; D. 114; A. 31-37 ; lateral line, 61. This species 
is here dried for the market; also taken at Brandon and reported to me at (Medicine Hat.
