This is a distinct species from Salmo clarkii and must be regarded as the finest of all the cut- throat-trout. It is readily known by its spotted belly, the black spots being evenly scattered over the whole surface of the body, above and below. This is an excellent game-fish, and from Lake Tahoe and Pyramid Lake it is brought in large num- bers to the markets of 'San Francisco. In the depths of Lake Tahoe, which is the finest mountain lake of the Sierra Nevada, occurs a very large variety which spawns in the lake, Salmo h?nshawi tahoensis. This reaches a weight of twenty-eight pounds. In the Great Basin of Utah is found a fine trout, very close to the ordinary cutthroat of the Columbia, from which it is derived. This is known as Salmo clarkii virginalis^ In Utah Lake it reaches a large size. In Waha Lake in Washington, a lake without outlet, is found a small trout with peculiar markings called Salmo clarkii boti- vieri. In the head-waters of the Platte and Arkansas rivers is the small green-back trout, green or brown, with red throat-patch.
