22 THE GOLDFISH AND ITS CULTURE, 
searching for food or nosing round in the aquarium, and the 
caprioles it then produces in order to regain its equilibrium 
have earned for it the names ‘‘ Tumbler” or “Clown.” 
Very beautiful colors are represented in this type. In addi- 
tion to vermilion, orange and white, with the various tints of 
purple, pink, and lemon-yellow on solid white or pearly bodies, 
rich blue, tinted with orange, is to be found. 
When this specie is bred as a fan-tail, it loses its character 
as a tumbler, the larger tail equalizing the balance of the body. 
THE GLOBE. 
Body egg-shaped, more or less elongated. A pear, pressed 
in upon two sides, the stem-end being the head, will give us 
the shape of the body of this type. The lower abdomen is 
very much bulged out, extending behind the butt, being in 
good specimens so globose as to make it the characteristic fea- 
ture. The head is prominent, expressive and arched on top; 
lips and nostrils are well developed; dorsal fin medium in 
height; abdominal fins short or medium and rounded; anal fin 
single, double, or wanting; tail present in plural as a well- 
shaped large fan-tail or a still larger fringe-tail, which in rare 
cases consists even of three perfect tails. Such specimens are 
known as: 
THe Fan-TatLep GLosBe and 
THE FRINGE-TAILED GLOBE. 
Specimens that have a large dorsal fin and long wavy ab- 
dominal fins, in addition to the fringe-tail, are termed: 
MANDARIN GLOBES.

In the third year of its age, a large spongy hood, resembling
