The Gold-Carp, the favorite of aquarium-keepers, is constantly becoming more popular, and many thousands have been distributed by the United States Fish Commission within the past few years, incidentally, in con- nection with the work on food-fishes. It frequently escapes from domes- tication, reverts to the natural hue of olive-bronze, and is taken in nets and brought to market. The graceful long-tailed and triple-tailed vari- eties from Japan are reared by the Fish Commission as well as the silvery and /the parti-colored forms, silver and gold. Mr. Seal has by artificial selection produced some grotesque forms, surpassing even them of Japan.
