The usefulness of the work is enhanced by special chapters on the external characters of fishes from the descriptive point of view, on fly-fishing (by Mr. E. J. Keyser), a glossary of technical terms, and an artificial key to the families of American food and game fishes.
 
This book, teeming with interest from the full accounts, presented in a charming manner, of the habits, distribution, and uses of the more important forms from the point of view of the angler.

It is to be hoped that not a few whose interest is sure to be awakened by a perusal of this charming book will later turn to the more technical work by the same authors and improve their knowledge through a study of the relationships existing between the various families of fishes, which are here merely defined without any allusion to the higher groups into which they fall.
