The above two illustrations show the two types of tails. At the left the "Swallow- 

 tail", "Ribbontail" or "Cut-out-tail;" the right the "Veiltail" or "Broadtail." All varieties 

 of the fancy goldfish may be subdivided into these two classes for purposes of competi- 

 tion, but it is a step of doubtful wisdom, for in many cases it is impossible for the judges 

 to decide even to their own satisfaction in which class a fish belongs, much less to the 

 satisfaction of the contestants.
