A POACHER. Ti)e Canadian Red Troat By JOHN W. TITCOMB. THE red trout are found in Lake Saccacomi and three Red Lakes adjacentto Saccacomi, all in the township of St. Alexis, Maskinonge County, Provinceof Quebec. These four lakes all contain the brook trout, S. fontinalis, and inSaccacomi the brook trout attains a weight of five or six pounds. In two of theRed Lakes there are also found the yellow perch (not an unusual thing for troutlakes in the Province of Quebec). Lake Saccacomi is not connected with the RedLakes, although from the topography it might have been connected in some ear-lier age. The Red Lakes are all connected and flow in a different direction fromSaccacomi. Red trout is the local name and as the ichthyologists have not had sufficientspecimens of similar fish from other waters for thorough comparison, no other namehas as yet been given to them. Evermann says the red trout bears a close resem-blance to the Salvelinus aureolus, from Little Averill Pond, Vt., and aureolus
