It does not reach a weight of more than five or six pounds, so far as we know, and most of them, as taken, are fingerlings ranging from four inches to a foot in length. It is found in streams west of the Sierra Nevada, from near the Mexican line to Oregon, and is said to occur in the northern part of Lower California. The southernmost seen by Jordan were from San Luis Rey River. Few have been observed in salt water. It may probably run into the sea from streams in which the lower waters are clear. It feeds on worms, larvae, and the like. It is a fish of little gameness or activity, which has not often been brought into the markets of San Francisco, and at present has little economic im- portance, although of course a good table-fish. It has been rather exten- sively introduced into the waters of the Eastern United States, and has been reared artificially in large numbers by the U. S. Fish Commission on the McCloud river in California, and thence distributed eastward and across the Pacific. The growth of the species at Northville, Mich., Ver- ona, Mo., Wytheville, Va., Cold Spring, N. Y., and in Japan, is very gratifying. Specimens have been obtained from North Carolina. The South Side club at Oakdale, Long Island, recently sent to the National Museum a fine example taken in salt water. The Rio Grande Trout, Salmo spilurus, (Cope) is abundant in the headwaters of the Rio Grande, Rio Colorado, and their tributaries, being.
