in arrow-like rushes. The body col- 

 ors are delicate shades of silver gray, 

 olive brown and pale blue. Describ- 

 ing this beautiful fish an authority on 

 the subject says: "The sun's rays, 

 lighting up the delicate olive-brown 

 tints of the back and sides, the bluish- 

 white of the abdomen, and* the 

 mingling of tints of rose, pale blue 

 and purplish-pink on the fins, display 

 a combination of colors equaled by 

 no fish outside of the tropics." 



The propagation of the grayling is 

 attended with much difficulty, on ac- 

 count of the delicate organism of this 

 fish, but fortunately for the anglers 

 of America, Dr. James A. Henshall 

 - best known as the highest author- 

 ity on the black bass demonstrated 

 the fact some twelve years ago that 

 this form of fish culture could be made 

 successful. To make the propagation 

 beneficial to the public, however, the 

 placing of the young fish in the 

 streams must be done with rare good 

 judgment, otherwise those who make 

 the experiment will have merely their 

 labor for their pains.
