 John Rocker, John Ruderman, Geo. Lamphart, Geo. Shaffer, Geo.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



A. M. M., New York. — ^Will you kindly inform me through your next 

 issue the weight of largest pike recorded? Ans. The limit of size of 

 this species is involved in some uncertainty. By reference to Goode's 

 "American Fishes" we find that Continental Europe is credited bv one 

 author with an individual weighing 1451bs., which was caught at j 

 Bregentz in 1862. A Scotch specimen weighing 731b3., and measuring 

 over 7ft., appears to be the largest of the monsters of Great Britain. ' 

 The European pike is identical with the American pike, but no such 

 mammoth specimens as the above have been recorded from American 

 waters. From 16 to 171bs. seems here to be the maximum.
