Fig. 20. -- White bass, above, and yellow bass, below. They may be distinguished by the following 
characters: The white bass is silvery in appearance, the yellow bass golden. The lines on the side of 
the white bass are rather faint but unbroken; on the yellow bass they are distinct but broken. On the 
white bass the lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper; on the yellow bass the lower jaw does not protrude 
beyond the upper when the jaws are closed. On the white bass, the third anal spine, B, is considerably 
longer than the second, A; on the yellow bass, the third anal spine, B, is approximately equal to the 
second, A.
