Besides the Rock Bass several other species of larger size and gamey habits attract the sportsman. These are easily diagnosed by the fin-formula, which for the Grass Bass {Pomoxys sparoides) is D. VII, or VIII, 15; VI, 17 or 18: for several species of Sun- fish, (Lepomis auritus and gWhosus) D. X, 11 ; A. Ill, 9: and for the large-and small-mouthed Black Bass (Micropterus aalmoides and dolomieu) D. X, 13 ; A. Ill, 11. The two latter are well known game-fishes, and apart from the size of the mouth, may bo distinguished by the scales of the former being 65-70 along the lateral line and 7-8 in a vertical row above the lateral line, while in the lat^^^er they are respectively 72-75 and 10-12. 18. In the nearly allied family of the Fercidse, the dorsal fins are not confluent, the anal spines are less numerous, the pseudobranchs are smaller, and the pyloric cceca fewer.
