This noble and gigantic species, which equals, or even exceeds, in size, the true Salmon, Salmo Salaf^ and is by far the largest of all the lacustrine or non-migratory Salmonidce^ is found in 4lA the great lakes to the northward and westward of Lake Erie, to tlTC|:3Fur countries and the Arctic region.

The Falls of Niagara present an insuperable obstacle to its descent into Lake Ontario; but whether it exists in any of the smaller lakes of New York, or the eastern waters of New England, does not as yet appear to be fully ascertained. It has been taken by the com- panions of Dr. Richardson and Sir John Franklin, in Winter lake, lat. 64^° N.; but I cannot learn that it has been discovered in any of the waters which discharge themselves southward by the Mississippi or the Missouri, i doubt not at all that it exists in the waters of the Great Basin and the Columbia, and that it is one of the fish mentioned by Col. Fremont, as taken in them, during his explorations. The name.
