taken by anglers for Mullet

mouth is not so pronounced by under =
hanging, and is less prehcnsile than
some Of the other species.
The only true mullct found in this
region Is n sea fish and belongs to an
entirely different family from the suck
ers. 1t grows to a length of more than
a foot. and sometimes to weight of
two pounds. Unlike the white sucker
in fact any of the other species found
hereabouts, it prefers slow moving
streams with muddy bottoms. 1t may
easily be distinguished from the other
species by the invisibility of the lateral
lines, which are plainly outlined on the
white sucker, and the stone toter or
sucker of the trout streams.
The lateral lines are two in number,
extending one on each side of the body
from the head to the extremity of the
tail about midway between the back and
the ventral line. These lines play an
important part in the life of fish. 1t
is medium by which vibrations are
carried to the rudimentary ears buried
in the bones on each side of the head
There are no external ears in fish
and no opening of an kind leading to
the inner ear. The lateral lines also
have the sense of feeling and tasting.
and in them are ducts which provide
the slime that covers the body and
which is as necessary to the health of q
fish as pcrspiration.
The Stone Toter
The stone totcr is only found in cold
water streams, and specially delights in
the most rapid currents. and the water
must be as pure and otherwise of the
same character required for the exist
ence of trout. There are not many OF
this fish anywhere in this locality.
Nearly nil the stream suckers caught
within radius of thirty or forty miles
are the common white suckers.
Although there are only three species
this side of the Allegheny Mountains,
there is belief in many quarters that
there is fourth. to which is given the
name black sucker. But this Is merely
a large form Of the ordinary white
sucker, which BY reason of age or en- =
vlronment is possessed of darker color
than Younger fish or that were living
under different surroundings.
