' I 'HE Mackinaw Trout, or Namaycush, is a non-migratory species inhab- ' iting the chain of Great Lakes from Superior to Ontario, as well as Lake Champlain and many other smaller lakes of the United States and of British America, occurring also to the Northeastward, in Mackinaw River and in the Knowall River, Alaska. "The Lake Trout is," remarks Bean, " a species remarkable for its great size, reaching 3 feet and sometimes weighing 40 pounds ; varying greatly in coloration, the extremes noteworthy in Maine and Alaska. It seem to have no parallel in Europe and is well separated from American species by its peculiar vomer and its large number of pyloric caeca (about 150)." Every lake of Northern New York and New England has its own variety, which the local angler stoutly maintains to be a different species from that found in the next township. Some are as black as a tautog, some brown with crimson spots, some gray, with delicate reticulations like those of a pickerel. The usual type to be found in the Great Lakes is brown or gray, dappled with lighter shades of the same general Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Goode, G.
