The body of this species is oblong, and much compressed on the sides; the head is short, and fins normal. The color varies from a light to a deep vermillion, sometimes white; a background of white beautifully dotted with crimson, the throat golden, makes a magnifi- cent combination that is very ornamental indeed. The sub-varieties of this are the Ramsnose and the Hognose. THE RAMSNOSE. That part of the body of this fish from the mouth to the dorsal fin forms a bow, like the forehead ot a ram, t...his feature giving the fish its name. The lower part of the body from the mouth to the tail continues a straight line. THE HOGNOSE. The peculiarity of this fish is just the reverse, concaved, greatly resembling the head ot a fat hog. All of the goldfish described above do not attain a very great size, seldom attaining a length of more than eight inches. Chapter IV. CHINESE GOLDFISHES.
