The Minnow Proper of Europe [Cyprinus, Leuciscus, Phoxinvs),is unknown to the waters of North America, but as their equi-valents, and analogous to them, we have innumerable species ofthe Hydrargyra, or Aram-ican Minnow; which, in general ap-pearance, habits, and haunts, are very nearly assimilated to theEuropean fish. Its food consists of aquatic plants, small worms, and minuteportions of any animal substances. It bites boldly and readilyat small red worms, gentles, or the larvae of any of the Phry-ganea, knoAvn as caddis-baits, stick-baits, and the like, on theleast Limerick hooks, number twelve; and is constantly takenby boys with a worm alone tied to a fine string, which the littlefish swallows so greedily that he is pulled out before he hastime to disgor2:e it.
