CHAPTER X 



BONY FISH, JACK GARFISH, JEWFISH, SQUEATEAGUE 



AND BASS 



BONY FISH (Elops saurus) AND TOAD FISH (Antennarius 



marmoratus) 



THIS active and graceful fish, a near relative of the tarpon, 

 which perhaps derives its name from its leanness, rises freely 

 to the fly under favourable conditions, and its wild jumps make 

 lively sport. Its several popular names are puzzling there is 

 a tendency on the other side to eccentric naming of fish and 

 no fish is considered genteel without at least three or four to 

 choose from.
