Text Appearing Before Image:
THE GOLDFISH 187 difficult to breed, it has been done several times in the United States. No peculiar contrivances of any kind were used. At the usual period of about twelve weeks they developed ordinary telescope eyes in the regular way. Later the pupils gradually turned towards the top of the head, as shown in Figs. 159 and 182. If any such peculiarity had been produced by mechanical means, it would not be reproduced in the offspring. By some Orientals the Celestial Goldfish is said to be considered sacred on account of its con- stant heavenward gaze, and is accorded a place in their temples. The Celestial Telescope is the most difficult of the imported gold- fishes to rear or to keep alive in the aquarium. THE LIONHEAD GOLDFISH **»

There are three strong char- acteristics to this fish. The first is a thick growth over the gill plates and head somewhat resembling a large raspberry. The second is the entire absence of dorsal fin, and the third is the extremely thick, short body. The growth on the head seldom commences before the age of six months and sometimes never appears. It is frequently well developed in four
