The Rangeley trout is much slendererthan the common brook-trout, with much smaller head andsmaller mouth. In life it is dark blue above, and the deep-redspots are confined to the sides of the body. The species rarelyexceeds the length of a foot in the Rangeley Lakes, but in someother waters it reaches a much larger size. So far as is knownit keeps itself in the depths of the lake until its spawning seasonapproaches, in October, when it ascends the stream to spawn. Still other species of this type are the Sunapee trout,Salvelinus aureolus, a beautiful charr almost identical with the. Fio. 243.—Sunapee Trout, Salvelimis aureolus Bean, bunapee Lake, X. H.
