22) THE GOLDFISH AND ITS CULTURE. 
THE RED-FIN, 
the body of which is a delicate azure, while the head, tail and fins 
are an intense scarlet. 
THE TUMBLER. 
Species Kin-teon - Yu. 
This is a remarkable fish, and one that seems quite distinct. 
The head and tail are bent upward, giving to the entire fish the form 
of a crescent. 
When swimming it has the habit of throwing itself over and over 
in the same manner that tumbler pigeons do when flying. The color 
of the fish is a magnificent blue flushed with orange making a gor- 
geous display. 
THE ELEGANT. 
This is a variety of the species Ouen-Yu, or ‘‘ lettered kind,” so 
named because the streaky markings are not altogether unlike 
Chinese characters. 
It is of a pure white sparingly dashed with patches of pearly 
pink on the body, and having some exquisite letter-like markings or 
tracings about the head and tail. Another variety of the species is 
rich scarlet, shading off to black on the back, in the midst of which 
is a large cross of pure white having two transverse bands like the 
Cross of Lorraine, by which name the author thinks proper to desig- 
nate it.
