The Rock Bass is excellent eating, and gives good sport to the angler, though it never attains to the size of the Black Bass, rarely exceeding a pound or a pound and a half, and consequently being far less difiicult to take. This fish, as well as the Black Bass and others of the family, might be transplanted with great ease into inland waters; and as they are hardy, and defended from all enemies by their sharp and spiny fins, would be sure to thrive, and would prove delicious additions to our lacustrine species of ^'*il iJ-^%;i.
