Fig. 10. Osmerus dentex Steindachner. (After Jordan & Evermann, Bull. U. S. N. M., No. 47, PL LXXXVI, fig. 229.) Dr. Berg (Ichthyologia Amurensis, p. 58) places Salmo inghaghitsh of Wal- baum (Artedi Piscium, p. 73) as a doubtful synonym of Osmerus dentex. As the teeth are said to be very small ("dentes minimi") it is not likely that this can be an Osmerus. It can only be Mesopus olidus, which according to Pallas is called "Inniacha" in Kamchatka. In that case the latter species should stand as Mesopus 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 Jordan, David Starr, 1851-1931; Metz, Charles William, 1889-; Carnegie Museum.
