“Exotic Aquarium Fishes.”’ 
By WILLIAM T. INNES 
This 460-page book with 41 col- 
or plates and 290 black and white 
illustrations is one that everyone 
interested in Aquarium Fishes 
should own. It contains only such 
fishes that have actually been im- 
ported, giving the popular name 
(if any), the scientific name, its 
pronunciation and meaning, the 
native habitat and a key refer- 
ence to a world map, which is 
printed on the fly-leaf. There are 
also 7 maps which show the 
world distribution of the 7 most 
important families of Aquarium 
Fish; 78 pages are devoted to 
Aquarium Management, Plants, 
Diseases, Enemies, etc. There are 
also sections on Wholesale Breed- 
ing, Collection and Transporta- 
tion, Miscellaneous Information, 
and Rules for Fish and Aquarium 
Competition. 
One is at once impressed by the 
quality print job, which is most 
outstanding. The author must 
have put his heart and soul into 
this book. When going through 
the pages you imagine he is talk- 
ing to you in person. The only 
thing missing is his photograph. 
By far the best book on this 
subject.
