Fishermen take note.
There are stranger fish in the sea that
have ever been caught before
The United States Fish Commission re-
ports the finding of several new varieties
of them absolutely unknown to fisher
men.
This happens at precisely the right sea-
son, for it is now that the amateur fisher
man gets out his rod and reel and puts
them in fishing order.
A VIRGINIA FISH.
That ancient and secretive fellow, the
sea- gives up his mysteries reluctantly.
In waters most familiar, where many
generations have stirred and scraped and
explored the depths with nets and dredges
there still hide strange forms.
So. in commonplace home waters, in
the Rhappahannock river in Virginia, the
United States Fish Commission recently
discovered new species. the grotesque
little fellow of the name 'Lyosphoera
globosa"
Two specimens of this odd fish were
taken, both in that part of the river near
Windmill creek. They were about one
and one-quarter inches long and one inch
wide and deep. Their color was yellowish
