CHAPTER X 
BONY FISH, JACK GARFISH, JEWFISH, SQUEATEAGUE 
AND BASS 
Bony Fish (Elops saurus) AND ToaD Fisu (Antennarius 
marmoratus) 
THIS active and graceful fish, a near relative of the tarpon, 
which perhaps derives its name from its leanness, rises freely 
to the fly under favourable conditions, and its wild jumps make 
lively sport. Its several popular names are puzzling—there is 
a tendency on the other side to eccentric naming of fish—and 
no fish is considered genteel without at least three or four to 
choose from.
