SALMON tDy-E. 115 bees, of the Salmo Salar. Strong tackle, an eighteen foot rod, and a steady hand, will not fail to sDcure them, even with far less skill than is required to take a three-pounder Brook Trout in a quick-run- ning river. I may add here, in continuation of the remarks made above, under the head of True Salmon, in reference to the young fry of all this family, that Professor Agassiz has discovered the Pinks, both of this and the preceding species in what may be called the Parr form, with dusky lateral transverse bandings. I have not judged it necessary to give cuts of these fry, as the fact may be regarded as thoroughly established, and as the other characteristics of these young Lake Trout are so broad and distinct, that they could not be easily mis- taken either for the young of any other species or for a distinct varii'ty. The above descriptions, as well as the representation in the annexed wood-cut, are taken, by permission, which is here gratefully acknow- ledged, from a spirited colored sketch by Mr. Elliot Cabot, of Boston, who accompanied Professor Agassiz on the tour above-mentioned, and from the notes of that gentleman. It is trusted that this notice, although brief, of an entirely new Salvia, will prove satisfactory both to the sportsman and to the natu- ralist ; and if the mention of its peculiarities may induce the gentle anglers of this country to pay a little more attention to the structural diiFerences of fishes, so as to lead to the discovery of new species, several of which, it can hardly be doubted, remain still nondescript in the unfrequented waters of this mighty land, some good will Jiave been "^one to the great cause of science.
