The only JOURNAL in the United States devoted to the interests of carp culture. It isa 

 1(> page, 48 column illustrated paper, published monthly at 50 cents a year. It is now (.July, 

 1888,) in the fourth year of its existence, and has subscribers in every State and Territory 

 in the Union, in nearly all the Provinces of Canada, and in Germany, England and 

 France. Its every edition is replete with the best experience of the carp culturists of the 

 world. In its Question Department, all questions asked relative to ponds or fish are an- 

 swered free of charge. It has a Natural History and an Aquarium Department. These 

 two departments are conducted by Hugo Mulertt, M. C. Imperial Russian Society of Ac- 

 climation, Cincinnati, O. 



It has also a Department of Natural Science, conducted by Prof. K. W. Claypole, of 

 Buchtel College, Akron, O., author of the chapter on the hearing offish, in this book. In 

 this department all specimens of plants or animals sent for inspection are classified and 

 named free of charge. 



These departments make the JOURNAL valuable not only at the pond side, but also 

 interesting in the home as an educator and instructor.
