It has been successfully transported to Europe, and it is already abundant in certain streams in England, in CaU- fornia, and elsewhere. In Dublin Pond, New Hampshire, is a gray variety without red spots, called Salvelimis agassizi. The "Dolly Varden" trout, or malma {Salvelimis malma), is very similar to the brook-trout, closely resembling it in size, form, color, and habits. It is found always to the westward of the Rocky Mountains, in the streams of northern California, Oregon,. Fig. 245 —Malma Trout, or "Dolly Varden," Salvelinus malma (Walbaum). Cook Inlet, Alaska. Washington, and British Columbia, Alaska, and Kamtchatka, as far as the Kurile Islands. It abounds in the sea in the north- ward, and specimens of ten to twelve pounds weight are not uncommon in Puget Sound and especially in Alaska. The Dolly Varden trout is, in general, slenderer and less compressed than the Eastern brook-trout. The red spots are found on the back of the fish as well as on the sides, and the back and upper fins are without the blackish marblings and blotches seen in.
