Fishing; Fishes; Pêche sportive; Poissons. bCIENIDyl!,. 209 The body is long, slender and compressed ; head convex above the , eyes, the scales moderate-sized, oval, coveiing the head and gill-covers; the lateral lino is 8li;5htly curved ; the eyes large ; maxillaries, inter- mazillarics, and pharyngeals minitely toothed. The first dorsal fin is triangular, and longer than it is high, of eight weak spines ; between this and. the second dorsal is a single weak spine. The second dorsal has twenty-eight soft rays, the pectu. iIh have eighteen soft rays, the ventrals one spine and five soft rays, the anal thirteen, and the caudal seventeen rays. Of this fish there are two distinct varieties, the Otolithu$ Caroli nensis, also misnamed Trout, which is bluer on the back than the Common Weak-Fish, and is spotted rather than striated ; and th Otolithus Drummondi, a smaller species found at New Orleans. The Common Weak-Fish is taken with the hook and reel of al sizes, from a few ounces up to seven or eight pounds, and it is posi- tively asserted even up to thirty, but I have never seen a specimcB approaching to such dimensions.
