Fishes

"AMERICAN FOOD AND GAME FISHES" is a book for the sportsman and the nature student. In scientific order it describes one thousand species, arranged in family groups from the paddle fishes, cat fishes and sturgeons, naked or encased in bony armour, to the highly organized cod fish, halibut, and flounders. The comparative rank of game fishes is emphasized by selected quotations from sportsmen from Izaak Walton to Henry van Dyke. Both of the authors are anglers and profound students. Dr. Jordan is the foremost modern ichthyologist. The descriptions are full and absolutely dependable, with interesting fisherman's lore added. The great fish industries, such as the salmon and cod fisheries, are given due space.

Mr. Dugmore's photographs of fish alive in the water form a remarkable series, unique even in modern nature photography.
