1t as it comes, And also, for those
with Virginia licenses. don't over
look the fact that there still is
some mighty nice trout fishing to be
had in Virginias mountain streams.
Fred Tresselt of Thurmont, Md,
known to many of you as an out
standing goldfish breeder, has just
presented the Fish and Wildlife
Service with two specimens of
albino bullfrogs Bullfrogs have
gray or brownish eyes, and their
bodies are colored in varying shades
of green or brown. About once in
a million times, biologists estimate,
albiniSm occurs, and a bullfrog is
born with pink eyes and a light
yellow colored body. These two
rare specimens are on display at the
aquarium at the Commerce Depart
ment Building, together with albino
specimens of other varieties of life,
such as catfish, freshwater turtles,
brook trout and diamond back ter
rapin.
Albinism is unusually rare in ma
ture. but has been observed in prac-
tically all animals. In the wild
albino animals rarely live to reach
the reproductive stage. Because of
their afhiction they are abnormally
attractive to predators, and fall
prey more easily than do the nor
NAL OF their species. This collection
is worth taking the youngsters to
see, and you'll be made welcome by

Small boat fishermen will find

PatuIent Rivers, and also offshore
at Chesapeake Beach, Breezy Point
and elsewhere down the western
shore. provided, of course, the
weather is good There are plenty
of large perch, fair-sized spot, taller
