In general form similar to , the body being rather elon- gate; head smallish, its length being somewhat less than one-fifth of the length (to the end of the middle caudal rays) in a male specimen 18 inches long.' Snout somewhat produced, subconical, much longer than the eye, the diameter of which is one-half of the width of the interorbital space. Maxillary slender and rather feeble, extending a little behind the vertical from the hind margin of the eye. Teeth of moderate strength. Interorbital space flattish. Prae- operculum crescent-shaped, without lower limb. Pectoral shorter than one-half of the distance between its root and that of the ventral. Dorsal a little higher than long. Caudal deeply forked. Brown above, red below, red-spotted on the sides; ventral and anal fins red, with white margins. This species is said to attain to a length of two feet. The characters given above are taken from a specimen from PaUas's collection in the Berlin Museimi; it is the skin of a male fish, 18 inches long, in a tolerably good state of preservation. 16. Salmo Salmo callaris, Pall. Zooffr. ill. p. 352; Cuv. 8f Vol. xxi. p. 260. The specimen preserved in the Berlin Museum as one of the types of Pallas's S. caUarts is a flat skin of a female fish, 18^ inches long,.
