Strana 581 - In the swamp in secluded recesses, A shy and hidden bird is warbling a song. Solitary the thrush, The hermit withdrawn to himself, avoiding the settlements, Sings by himself a song.
Strana 446 - No life, my honest scholar, no life so happy and so pleasant as the life of a well-governed angler; for when the lawyer is swallowed up with business, and the statesman is preventing or contriving plots, then we sit on cowslip banks, hear the birds sing, and possess ourselves in as much quietness as these silent silver streams, which we now see glide so quietly by us.
Strana 368 - A locality which with the water perfectly clear will appear destitute of fish will perhaps yield a number of mud-fish on stirring up the mud at the bottom and drawing a seine through it. Ditches in the prairies of Wisconsin, or mere bog-holes, apparently affording lodgment to nothing beyond tadpoles, may thus be found filled with Melanuras.
Strana 330 - ... and plaid stockings. The Bull-head seems to be dozing on the muddy bottom, and a stranger would say that he would not bite. But wait. There is a movement of his continuation and his cow-catcher moves gently toward the piece of liver. He does not wait to smell of it, and canvass in his mind whether the liver is fresh. It makes no difference to him. He argues that here is a family out of meat. 'My country calls and I must go,' says the Bull-head to himself, and he opens his mouth and the liver...
Strana 614 - ... spots consisting of concentric circles of yellow and black, between them a yellow band crossing each marginal ; plastron yellow, with a black blotch on each scute, these often ocellated with yellow; spots on bridge usually confluent; head with numerous narrow stripes of greenish or yellow; a broad stripe from under eye extending backward on neck, being met at angle of mouth by a stripe from middle of lower jaw; another stripe, often blood red, from posterior corner of eye running back on neck;...
Strana 373 - Cheeks entirely scaly; lower half of opercles bare. General color bluish, or greenish gray, with many whitish or yellowish spots, which are usually smaller than the eye and arranged somewhat in rows; dorsal, anal, and caudal fins with roundish or oblong black spots; young with the whitish spots coalescing, forming oblique crossbars; a white horizontal band bounding the naked part of the operculum, each scale with a grayish V-shaped speck.
Strana 422 - Body ovate-fusiform, becoming deeper with age, moderately compressed. Head large. Mouth very wide, the maxillary in the adult reaching beyond the eye ; in the young shorter. Scales on the cheek in about 10 rows ; scales on the trunk comparatively large. Lingual teeth sometimes present. Dorsal fin very deeply notched.
Strana 330 - ... rather large, the lips strongly papillose, the upper moderate, with two or three rows of papillae : scales crowded anteriorly, much larger on the sides than below ; scales 10-64 to 70-9 : coloration olivaceous ; males in spring with a faint rosy lateral band ; young brownish, more or less mottled, often with about three large confluent lateral blotches, which sometimes form an obscure lateral band.
Strana 640 - ... usually be seen better during the autumn than any other time. They are then to be found on the ground in damp situations and are somewhat sluggish and inactive. They are quite handsome and elegant in appearance. These little frogs often fall a prey to the large-mouth black bass and pickerel and are sometimes used for bait by anglers. Fingers and toes ending in small disks; fingers not webbed, toes scarcely so. Tympanum distinct. Bluish ash, a dark dorsal stripe from snout backward, bifurcating...
Strana 329 - ... up in that style a speckled trout -will see him in Chicago first, and' then it won't bite. The brook trout is even more aristocratic than the white-fish, and should not be propagated at public expense. "But there are fish that should be propagated in the interest of the people. There is a species of fish that never looks at the clothes of the man who throws in the bait, a fish that takes whatever is thrown to it, and when once hold of the hook never tries to shake a friend, but submits to the...
