The above two illustrations show the two types of tails. At the left the "Swal- 

 lowtail," "Ribbontail" or "Cutouttail ;" the right the "Veiltail" or "Broadtail." Both 

 types are embraced under the old general classiiication of "Fringetails." All varie- 

 ties of the fancy goldfish may be subdivided into these two classes for purposes of 

 competition, but it is a step of doubtful wisdom, for in many cases it is impossible 

 for the judges to decide even to their own satisfaction in which class a fish belongs 

 much less to the satisfaction of the contestants.
