It is well worthy of introduction into American and European waters. Salvelinus, the Charr.—The genus Salvelinus comprises the finest of the Salmonidcs, from the point of view of the angler or the artist. In England the species are known as charr or char, in contradistinction to the black-spotted species of Salmo, which are called trout. The former name has unfortunately been lost in America, where the name "trout" is given indiscrimi- nately to both groups, and, still worse, to numerous other fishes {Micropterus, Hexagrammos, Cynoscion, Agonostomus) wholly unlike the SalmonidcB in all respects. It is sometimes said that "the American brook-trout is no trout, nothing but a charr," almost as though "charr" were a word of reproach. Nothing higher, however, can be said of a salmonoid than that it is a "; The technical character of the genus Salve- linus lies in the form of its vomer. This is deeper than in Salmo; and when the flesh is removed the bone is found to be somewhat boat-shaped above, and with the shaft depressed and out of the line of the head of the vomer. Only the head or chevron is armed with teeth, and the shaft is covered by skin. In color all the charrs differ from the salmon and trout.
