FOR NATURE-LOVERS AND ANGLERS. 
Familiar Fish: Their Habits and 
Capture. 
A Practical Book on Fresh-Water Game Fish. 
By Eucene McCartuy. With an Introduction 
by Dr. David Starr Jordan, President of Leland 
Stanford Junior University, and numerous Il]lus- 
trations. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. 
This informing and practical book describes in a most inter- 
esting fashion the habits and environment of our familiar fresh- 
water game fish, including anadromous fish like the salmon and 
sea trout. The life of a fish is traced in a manner very interest- 
ing to nature-lovers, while the simple and useful explanations of 
the methods of angling for different fish will be appreciated by 
fishermen old and young. As one of the most experienced of 
American fishermen, Mr. McCarthy is able to speak with au- 
thority regarding salmon, trout, ouananiche, bass, pike, and pick- 
erel, and other fish which are the object of the angler’s pursuit. 
The book is profusely illustrated with pictures and serviceable 
diagrams. 
‘<The book compresses into a moderate space a larger amount of interesting 
knowledge about fish and fishing than any other volume that has appeared this 
season.’’—Chicago Tribune. 
“Tt gives, in simple language and illustrations, much that it will be profit- 
able for our boys to know before they begin to lay out their money, and much 
information that will be useful to them when they begin to go farther afield 
than their own immediate local waters.’’— Outing. 
“‘One of the handsomest, most practical, most informing books that we 
know. The author treats his subject with scientific thoroughness, but with a 
light touch that makes the book easy reading. . . . The book should be the 
companion of all who go a-fishing.”’"—New York Mail and Express.
