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.”
