Townsend (1887) records one specimen taken in the Middle IClawak (Kobuk) in August, 1885; Nelson (1887) records it from the Y'ukon at Xulato, Kotlik, and Andreafski; Turner (1886), from St. Michaels: and Scofield dSilO) from the Mackenzie River. 27. Oncorhynchus gorbuscha (Wal Humpback Salmon; Pink Salmon. (PI. xxiii—xxvi.) Tile humpback salmon is the most abundant salmon in .-Vlaskan waters. It exists in millions, swarming everywhere along the shores and in waters near the sea, in streams, brooks, lakes, swamps, and brackish lagoons—in fact, in all places where fresh water, however little, may lie found. It is ordinarily not found far from shore, and does not run up the streams for great distances. It does not frequent the larger rivers, and is therefore almost unknown in the Sacramento and Columbia, and even in the Fraser: but in the smaller streams it is found practically everywhere from California to Bering Sea, wherever a stream of fresh water, however small, enters the sea. Dr. Bean records it fi-om Refuge Cove, Cook Inlet, and St. Paul, Kodiak Island; also from Colville River. Townsend (July 2 to August 25, 1885) found it in the Middle Kobuk River; not more than a half dozen individuals were seen, however, among the large numbers of fishes examined at every village of natives. Scofield (1899) found this species at Port Clarence about the middle
