THE GAME PISH OF NORTH AMERICA. 25 finned fishes, which, though it is Baron Cuvier's first division, I have postponed to the Malacopterygii, or soft-finned fishes, on account of the greater estimation in which they are held, especially the noble Salmon, Pike and Shad families, by both epicure and sportsman. Second, however, to these only are several of the families of the second class, and scarcely inferior even to these is the splendid genus Labrax, unquestionably, next to the Salmon, the most sporting fish in all respects in the world, and in his absence facile princeps. Of the class Acantiiopterygii, then, we have The Family Percid^. 1. Genus Perga : The Yellow Pearch, Perca Flavescens. Of this there are three or four very closely-allied varieties. The White Pearch, Perca Pallida. The Common Pearch, Perca Fluviatilis^ and others of less note, among which are the genera Corvina and Pomotis. 2. Genus Labrax : The Striped BassâRock FishâLabrax Lineatus. 3. Genus Lucioperca : The Pike PearchâAmerican Sandre, Ohio Salmon, &c.â Lucioperca Americana. The Canadian Sandre, Lucioperca Canadensis. 4. Genus Gristes : The Black BassâOswogo BassâGiistes Nigricans. 5. Genus Centrarchus : The Rock Bass, Centrarchus jEneus 6. Genus Otolithus : The Weak-Fish, vulgo Trout, Otolithus Regalis and Caroli- nensis. And with these, unless the reader choose to add the Eel, of the class Apodal Malacopterygii^ family Anguillidce, the list of the fresh-water sporting fishes of the United States and British Provinces may be said to close. Of these fish, the True Salmon, Salmo Salar., the Sea Trout, Salmo Trutta Marina^ the Brook Trout, Salmo Fontinalis, the Arctic Charr, Salmo Iloodii, and perhaps the Sebago Lake Trout, are migratory, as is also the Arctic Grayling, Thymallus Signifer ; all th
