70 FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES. 



CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS, New York City : 



Game Fishes of the United States — Continued. 



Mr. Kilbourne's paintings will open up a new world of delight to 

 many who have never dreamed of the loveliness of the denizens of 

 our own streams and bays. * * . * Game fishes are those which, 

 by reason of their cunning, courage, strength, beauty, and the 

 sapidity of their flesh, are sought for by those who angle for sport 

 with delicate fishing tackle. * * * In preparing the following 

 essays, my endeavor has been to give a concise account of habits 

 and geographical distribution. Descriptions would be superfluous ; 

 for Mr. Kilbourne has combined in his paintings artistic truth of 

 coloring and scientific accuracy in the delineation of form. Fish- 

 culture is frequently referred to, since its results are of great in- 

 terest to the zoologist, the angler, and the public at large. — From 

 the preface of Mr. Goode.
