x Preface 



works relate to the scientific investigations of ex- 

 perts and specialists, but it is not too much to say 

 that an equal number are devoted to the art of 

 angling and the capture of fishes." I am in- 

 debted to the United States Fish Commission 

 for the outline drawings of fishes in this volume, 

 which have been taken from the originals in the 

 late Dr. G. Brown Goode's Government Report, 

 entitled " The Fisheries and Fishing Industries 

 of the United States."
