Perch.
There are four distinct specimens of this fish inhabiting American waters, viz.: the Common Perch,
the Yellow Perch, the White Perch, and the Black
or Red Perch. The Common Perch is of brown
olive tinge, mingled with golden hue, and has dark
bands across its sides. The first dorsal fin is larger
than the second, and all the fins are tinged with a
lively red when first taken from the water. Length
usually from five to fifteen inches. The Yellow
Perch averages a little larger in size, with a small
head tapering towards its mouth. Its jaws contain a
large number of minute teeth. Its back is of olive
brown color—sides yellow, and belly white. The
stripes across its sides are brown, as are also its dorsal and pectoral fins. The ventral and anal fins are
