Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Bureau of Fisheries, 1905, Vol. 25 Although it was apparent from the original description and Dr. Gilbert's notes that the trout described by Dr. Jordan was a fish of unusual beauty, and that the species found in Volcano Creek was even more beautiful, little was added to our knowledge of the trout of the Kern River region until recently. From time to time reports had come to the Bureau of Fisheries regarding the beauty, gameness, and delicious flavor of the golden trout of Volcano Creek, and then the fear began to be expressed that, owing to its extremely restricted habitat and the ease with which it may be captured, the species was in danger of extermination. Stewart Edward White visited the region in 1903 and, impressed with the ease with which the extinction of the species could be compassed, called the attention of the President to the matter and the President in turn brought it to the attention of Hon. George M. Bowers, Commissioner of Fisheries. Complying with the request of the President, the Commissioner ordered an investigation to be made for the purpose of determining (a) the natural geographic distribution of this trout, (b) its abundance, (0) its habits as to food and spawning time and its qualities as a food and game fish. (d) into what waters, if any, it has been transplanted, (e) into what other streams it 'iay be introduced, (f) whether its artificial propagation can be undertaken by the Bureau, and, finally, (g) what measures or regulations, if any, are necessary for the adequate protection of the species. An investigating party, under the writer's dirce tion, 'l outfitted at Redstone Park, Tulare County, Cal., with saddle horses, pack animals, and camping equipment, and on July 13, 1904, started for Volcano Creek.
