What Is known Abou, rish.

Pliny. the great naturalist, who lived
at about the time of Christ, reckoned
the whole number of known species Of
fish at ninety-four. Linn9us, the great
Swedish investigator Of the eighteenth
century, could classify Ats, and he is
known to have been the greatest ich-
thyologist of the age in which he lived.
The progress made in that particular
branch since the time Of Linn@us
seems all the more wonderful, for now
$4,000 species show up in the cata-
logues of the fish specialists.
