. American fishes : a popular treatise upon the game and food fishes of North America with especial reference to habits and methods of capture. Fishes -- North America.

Carbonnier, from 1877 to 1879, are recorded by that experimenter in the Bulletin of the Society of Acclimation for 1881.* The species at one time attained to commercial importance in the Lake Region, but has now greatly decreased in numbers. It is especially ad- mired by the anglers of Lake Pepin. Another species which closely resembles the Striped Bass is the Morone intcrrnpta, generally known as the Yellow Bass, but sometimes called A .. THE YELLOW BASS. MOROSE INTEERUPTA. Bar-fish in the South. It is found throughout the lower course of the Mississippi, ascending the tributaries which are deep and sluggish, but not running past rapids or into the upper courses of the rivers. Jordan states that its range extends -up the Ohio to the mouth of the Wabash or beyond, though it does not seem to be common anywhere except in the Lower Mississippi. It probably enters salt water, but of this we have no certain information. It is taken in considerable numbers in the regions where found, and is graded with the White Bass, which it much resembles in size and color. Little is known in regard to its habits. The criterion by which it maybe distinguished from the White Bass is the low membrane connecting the two dorsal fins. Its color is yellow, not silvery, and the black stripes are very prominent. * Bulletin Mensuel dela Societe d'Acclimation, viii, No. 2, p. 10. 3.
