Why FISHES Change Color.

The colors shown on many we'll
known colored plates OF West Indian
fishes published In standard works
on ichthyology are. we find, not those
of normal conditions. but rather those
OF dying. dead and rapidly fading
fishes. Experiments in the New York
aquarium have shown that such col-
ors are merely the vestges Of the
last convulsive color excitements Of
the specimens used This IL the ex-
PLANTATION of tho rapid changes for
which the dying dolphin Is celebrated.
Even IL painted from newly caught
wild fishes held in portable aqua
rum, as some OF the were. they show
hiding or alarm colors only, and in
every case represent merely one of
several possible phases of celebration.
In fact. it has been possible to show
by experiments with, living fishes in
the aquarium just which paintings
and photographs reproduced In stan
dard works were made from dead
specimens and which were not.
1t is well known that Northern
sea fishes habitually frequenting
green or yellow seaweed acquire to
some extent the general color tone
OF their habitat, and that trout from
dark water are dark -colored, while
those inhabiting waters where there
La sandy or gravelly bottom are light
colored. Such conditions have long
been appreciated at the aquarium.
