THE FISHES OF NORTH AMERICA, COLORED AS IN LIFE. By William C Harris, Editor of THE AMERICAN ANGLER. H rr^HE FISHES OP NORTH AMERICA" is I issued in forty monthly parts, each part con- -?- taining two fish portraits on heavj' plate pa- ner, size 12x19 inches. This publication, which may oe said to be the life-work of Mr. Harris, who has spent many j-ears in its preparation, occupies a field entirely its own in ichthjMC literature. In fact, no previous publication has appeared that attempts to cover so large a field, or present so great a number of portraits of American fishes, eighty or more of which, colored as in life, will be given in the book, which will also contain about 1,000 drawings in ink of differ- ent species of fish. The portraits of fishes are first painted in oil, at the moment thej- are taken from the water, before their color tints have faded, then lithographed on stone in colors, of which as many as fifteen (15) different tints have been required to reproduce the exact tone and mellow transfusion of color so frequently seen in many species of fish when alive.
