FIG. 18—Scaled Japanese Telescope Goldfish Carassius auraius^ macropkthalfKtts. Two-thirds life-size with black irides; some have red or golden-yellow bodies and white fins with red, white and black eyes; and others pearly-white bodies, and fins mottled with red, and red and black eyes, though none of these colorings are necessarily permanent. The colors of these fishes are so fantastic that French, German and American authorities class them as much by these color peculiarities as by changes in body structure. The following are the most generally known of the Chinese telescopic- eyed goldfishes bred in the United States: THE CHINESE MOTTLED OR VARIEGATED TELESCOPE GOLDFISH Carassius auratus^ var. chinensis veriegatus. Figs. 19, 20, 21 and 22 This variety of the Telescope is commonly known as the Calico, as best describing its fantastic markings. The body is short and thick ; the spine has a decided backward curve; the snout is formed to give the short S3.
