. Catalogue de la pêche dans le British Museum. British Museum (Natural History) ; les poissons. 1. SALMO. 151 1. Un formulaire du sud (rivière Mingan), à petite tête et nageoire caudale tronquée, qui semble être identique avec S. fontinalis ; et 2. Une espèce de Felix Booth, avec petite tête, et avec la caudale fourchue profondément. Seulement un des deux spécimens mentionnés par Sir J. Richardson semble avoir été préservé : c'est dans la collection Haslar, et, bien qu'aucune trace de son histoire a été attaché au modèle, il est évidemment l'exemple à partir de la rivière Mingan, décrite par Richard- fils, I.

. Catalogue of the fishes in the British Museum. British Museum (Natural History); Fishes. 1. SALMO. 151 1. A southern form (Mingan River), with small head and truncate caudal fin, which appears to be identical with S. fontinalis ; and 2. A species from Boothia Felix, with small head, and with the caudal fin deeply forked. Only one of the two specimens mentioned by Sir J. Richardson appears to have been preserved: it is in the Haslar Collection, and, although no record of its history has been attached to the specimen, it is evidently the example from Mingan River, described by Richard- son, I. c. pp. 174-175. There is no sufficient evidence to show that it belongs to a species distinct from S. fontinalis, although its trun- cated caudal fin distinguishes it at once from the S. hoodii of Boothia Felix. Also another example, which is clearly nothing but a S. fon- tinalis, was presented by Richardson to the British Museum as S. hoodii. Richardson says that S. hoodii is distinguished by a very short head, the length of which is one-sixth of the total length. We do not know Avhether this is really a specific character, or whether the author had accidentally some small-headed individuals for examina- tion, perhaps females. Therefore we do not think we should be justified in specifically separating two specimens before us which agree with S. hoodii of Boothia Felix in all particulars, especially in the deeply forked caudal fin, but have the head considerably larger, viz. one-fifth of the total length..
