Tins variet}- is rather small. A fish with body 5 inclies long is consitjereil very large, and the 

 average is nnicli less. The candal fin is shorter than tlie bod\' proper. 



This cnrions and interesting variety is now extensively grown in parts of Japan, and it or the 

 original Chinese form is common in America and linrope. The lish has very defective sight and 

 is nnable to adapt itself to the protruding eyeball, fur in the adult stage it is very likely to injure 

 the eyes by swimming against hard objects, and so becomes blind. The fish is solitar)- in its habits, 

 and does not swim with its fellows, in this respect differing from all the goldfish long cultivated in 

 Japan.
