ANGLING LITERATURE. 



The Fishes of North America . By WILLIAM c. HARRIS, Editor of 

 "The American Angler." Mr. Harris in his prospectus announces: The design 

 of this work is to furnish a text book for the student and a kindergarten study 

 for the angler. To aid in this object the fish will be shown in an upright posi- 

 tion, that of the act of swimming, and extreme care has been taken not only to 

 give the coloration in life, but also with distinctness the specific markings, in- 

 cluding the exact number of spines or rays in the fin construction. Each fish 

 to be presented has been, or will be, caught on my own rod, with the artist, 

 ready for work, within a short distance from the pool, or with his easel in the 

 stern sheets of the boat. The terms will be $1.50 per number, and the first part 

 will be issued at an early date. The subscription books are now open.
