. American fishes; a popular treatise upon the game and food fishes of North America, with especial reference to habits and methods of capture. Fishes. CARP, DA CE AND MINNO W. 423 source of satisfaction to the angler. The flesh of this and other small Cyprinidse is very palatable when fried crisp soon after being taken from the water. Toward the northwest another Chub, Platygobio gracilis, takes the place of the preceding, and reaches a somewhat larger size. The English Chub is also closely allied to its American THE ENGLISH CHUB. The English Chub, " Chevin " or Chavender, Squalius cephalus, the; Chevaine or Dobule of France, the Altel or Dobel of Germany is widely distributed over Europe and Asia Minor. Frank Buckland compares it to the Yorkshireman's horse—very bad to catch and no good when he is caught—but many old-school anglers will not ratify his judgment. Pennell says of the Chub that, though not so mettlesome or gamesome as the Dace, it grows to far greater size, and has the merit of taking the artificial fly kindly. The Chub is believed by many etymologists to have derived its Eng- lish name from an old Saxon word meaning " head," and its French name also from chef, a word of similar significance.
