which are white on the under side of the body, between the fins, are more 
likely to retain their black color than those which are yellow in this region.

Carassius auratus, var. chinensis tigrinis Figs. 25 and 26

The tubular eyes are developed to a remarkable degree, often extending

Carassius auratus, var. chinensis tigrinus Lateral view Two-thirds life size

FIG. 26—Chinese Tiger Telescope Goldfish 
Frontal view 
In transverse section the fish would appear almost triangular, 
with the flattened abdomen as the base. The body is short, thick and 
Two-thirds life size 
malformed, scant of fins and tail, and the

of the flesh under the transparent scales, 
as the prevailing color, overlaid, with 
streaks and patches of black, dark brown, 
red and dusky grey on the back, sides and 
fins, with a lemon-yellow abdomen. But 
two good specimens of this breed have 
been seen by the author; European 
authorities depict them as characteristically 
marked with narrow bands of contrasting 
colors.
