Fishing; Fishes; Pêche sportive; Poissons. liF" MifM%ill(?lLyUL//.:E'Mi /I ^ 174 AMERICAN FISHES. ABDOMINAL MALACOPTERTOII. CTPRINIDA. AMERICAN BREAM. Abramis VcrsicoLr ,• AgasBm. The Bream of America, of which there are several inferior species, like most others of this family which I have enumerated, never grows to any size, and is very little accounted by the angler in general, though in some of the western waters, where they bite freely, they are sometimes angled for with the small red worm, and arc accounted a delicate pan-fish. They are distinguished from the other Cyprini, by the great depth of their bodies, by having the dorsal set very far back, behind the extremity of the ventral, and by the great length of the dorsal fin. The tongue is smooth, as well as the jaws and palate, but the lower pharyngeal bones are set with large teeth. Like the other Cypriiiij the Breams are among the least carnivo- rous of fishes. This is a beautitul species. The back is dark, of a hair-brown hue, varied with many colored changeable reflections; the sides golden yellow, and the belly silvery white; the dorsal and caudal fins brown ; the otl'crs yellowish, tinojed with red.
