The growth is rapid during the season of active feeding. This trout is found only in the little streams of Fish Valley, a remote region in Alpine County east of the Sierra Divide. Its native habitat is restricted by Llewellyn Falls which form an impassable barrier between the waters above and Silver King Creek below, which in turn flows into Carson River. The waters of the latter eventually dis- appear in Carson Desert to the eastward. Carson River was once tributary to the Quaternary Lake Lahontan which covered a consider- able area in Nevada. Its fishes are therefore related to or identical with those of other rivers as the Truckee, Walker and Humbod' which were also tributaries to the same ancient lake. This region or basin, the streams of which have not had any connection with the ocean for untold ages, contains native representatives of both the rainbow and cutthroat fronts. The rainbows are S. regalis of Lake Tahoe, S. smaragdus of Pyramid Lake, and S. aquilarum of Eagle Lake. 8. henshawi, the more gen- erally distributed trout is a cut- throat, and its relationships are aii]iarently with similar trouts of the upper Columbia and Snake Lake Basin.
