On the supposition cf the idcntiiy 3f the Sunapee trout with the European form, its oocurrcice in the lakes uf Maine Ims Ikm'd attributed to a recent plant of saibling eggs brought from Germany by thfc United Statos Fisli Commission, The possibility that this trout is a hybrid between the saibling and the Euiupcati trout or brown trout (Salmofariv), has been also suggested. The study of the species of charr it a very liifflcult one. The specffio differences ar: slight and the individual variations surprisingly groat. The prosenco of a largo amount of niatirial is necessary in order to reacii any conclusion. Those conclusions which now seem to me [irnliable I wish to present in the most modest manner possible, for they are liable to be wholly overturned when the waters between Maine and Greenland are more fully explored.
