trout, that isa very good name to entrap countrymen with. The best time ofthe year to go fishing for tomcods is September, and I know ofno better place than along the docks of the North River, from 110thstreet to Spuyten Duyvel. The rig is the same as is used in flounder fishing, and it is best tofish with a gang of hooks fastened above a hollow round sinker,which must be light. Sandworms are the best bait, and the ebbtide I have always found to be the most successful stage of thewater. There used to be in Harlem Kills an old float and boat-house kept by Sandy Gibson, and from that float, which wasanchored directly over the once famous striped bass spot, theWillows, I enjoyed the most successful pan fishing I have everhad. It was a great place for tomcods and flounders, and off of itI took the big tomcod mentioned above. Tomcods will take thebaited hook when they are no bigger than the little finger, and bitefrom early April to December. The smaller they are the better theyare to eat.

The railroad,after leaving the station turns dii-ectly towardthe mountain range, and gradually ascends forthe first six nules, a steady grade of 200 feet tothe mile, until just before the mouth of the can-on it reaches 296 feet. Nothing can describe theapparent desolation of sage brush and dry sterileappearance of the soil, but here and there where-ever the little mountain brook can be divertedfrom its course, and its water used to irrigate theland, the richest of fruit trees, grass and grainspring up and give abundant crops. The littlestream, with its rapid fall, follows us up theentire length of the canon. The upward ascentof the grade seems hardly noticeable, of so uni-form a slope is the surface of the country, and itis not till the base of the mountains is reached,and the tourist looks back, he realizes liis height,.

The fins also are of different coloration; the dorsals are biown;the jDectorals a yellowish broAvn; the ventral and anal are orange.On both sides of the head, upon the operculi, are two rudimentaryflattened points. The first dorsal fin is composed of eight rays, which might with])ropriety be called spines. The second dorsal is composed of raysmuch divided. The pectoral fins consist of seventeen branchedrays. The ventral fin of one ray and five imperfect rays, and thecaudal fin has seventeen rays. The weakfish gives amusement to more anglers of the metropolisthan any other fish on our lists. They run in great numbers duringthe summer months and early fall.

Before the rapacious bluefish came from the South in such num-bers and regularity, the weakfish were much more plentiful on ourcoasts, and though it is a sort oi jjost hoc prop hoc argument, yetmany claim that the gradual decrease in the supply of weakfish isdue to tho bluefishs advent. As above stated, the weakfish can be taken almost anywhere onthe Atlantic cciast from the Chesapeake Bay up to the Connecticutriver, and a few of the best places to take them are the fol-lowing: Princess Bay, reached by way of the South Ferry; Fort Lafay-ette in the Narrows; Newark Bay; up the Long Island Sound atWestchester Creek; at Atlantic City, and at the mouth of the Del-aware river. The nearness of many of these places to the great cities, NewYork, Brooklyn and Philadelphia, gives an opportunity to the an-gler with little

d while taking Lhe coin out of his mouth hegrasped it between his finger and thumb, and to this day the had-dock bears the marks of the impress of tne apostles thumb andforefinger. They are two black maiks about the size of a three-cent piece immediately behind the head, just where an angler to-daywould grasp a fish to extract the hook from its jaws. The haddock has a distinct black line running along its sides; thesame lateral line in the codfish is white. As regards coloration thehaddock is darker than the codfish. It is a more tasty fish also, andis usually smoked before being brought to market. A celebratedkind of smoked haddock comes from Scotland and th y are knownas • finnan baddies. The haddock is caught pruicipally in winter 76 FISHES OF THE EAST ATLANTIC COAST. by professional fishermen in the neighborhood of Cape Cod, thoughthe extent coastwise of the haddock run, is from Delaware Bay upto northern Maine.

CHAPTER XVI. The Menhaden—Alosa menhaden—(Gill.) This seemingly -worthless fish is one of the most important of allthe salt water fishes. There is not one of us, be he a fisherman ornot, who is not interested in the mossbunker. They swarm all alongthe coast, even some distance up the rivers every summer, and uponthe regularity and perpetuity of that migration depends to a greatextent the fish supply of the Eastern Coast cities. The magnetthat draws the great armies of bluefish to our waters is the vastshoals of menhaden that precede them. The best bait for stripedbass in surf-fishing, and, in fact, the material of all chumming,, isthe mossbunker. I have seen great collections of these menhadenascending the Soimd, and next day following a school of porpoises,rolling, tossing and diving in merry style through the water. The great use the menhaden are put to is in making fish oil, andright here lies a very threatening danger to our coast fishing. S^inenets are made that cover acres,
