 In David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann's "A Check-list of the Fishes and Fishlike Vertebrates of North and Middle America" (1896), the name "Salmo mykiss lewisi" was given to Yellowstone trout or cut-throat trout and included a reference to specimens collected from the Missouri River by George Suckley.In 1898, Jordan and Evermann changed the name of cutthroat trout to "Salmo clarki".
