Abstract
THESE two volumes of the “American Sportsman's Library” deal with the fishes of the United States, other than salmon, trout, and char, from the sportsman's point of view. Although the same ground is to a certain extent covered by both, Dr. Henshall has to deal with numerous species inhabiting both fresh and salt water, while Mr. Holder's volume confines itself to a comparatively small number of marine species, and this naturally results in the adoption of a different method of treating the subject by the two authors; this much they have in common, that both have produced books which give the angler information as to the tackle to be employed for each species and the places in which to employ it, and at the same time illustrate their remarks with excellent personal observations on the habits of the fish with which they deal.
