TAINS MANY VARIETIES IN » KEY’ WEST WATERS; SHIP!|" “PED ON STEAMER BRAZOS "No finer collection’ of fish has ever.been taken from the waters adjacent to Key West than that taken on the Mallory line steam- ship Brazos last night by Hamil- ton Knowles for the New York aquarium. Fish measuring from two inches + to seven and a half feet were in the collection. The two-inch speci- men was a rarely captured but- terfly and the seven and a half foot one was a nurse shark. Between these two extremes were about 80 species which con- stitute a much larger variety than is usually taken for aquariums. In the tanks were approximately 1,- 100 fish. Among the special prizes taken were some blueheads with coloring entirely different from those usually taken. The heads blue with the regular black stripes across the sides from the dorsal fins, with the rest of the body a delicate shade of pink. Another rare fish was in collection. This a solid blug almost: purple; Which Mt. Know! said he could not classify, ‘Also. two purple puffers, There was also a blunt nose moray. Usually the head of the moray is pointed. The specimen Mr. Knowles has is entirely dif- ferent. The head is rounded and the coloring different. Mr. Knowles told The Citizen he had seen a moray similar to the one he has that was brought to the aquarium by Commodore Vanderbilt. It was captured in the waters arouhd the Galapagos Islands. One of the prizes that came to the nets of the hunters was a reef queen angel. While this fish is not rare, it is seldom seen in the tanks of an aquarium because of the difficulty in catching it. It is one of the most beautiful fish in these waters. Other specimens of particular interest are slangdangs, unicorns, plum pugs, porcupines, and an ex- eeptionally large remora (sucking fish), While these are not rare the one in the collection is the largest Mr. Knowles has ever had. rt cuda, amberjack, yellow fin grouper, fish shark and many others that are common to the Key Wester, were among the number in the tanks. The most highly prized, how- ever, of the entire collection were! eight octopi, the largest measuring about three feet. Originally there were sixteen of these, one measur- ing nine. feet. This latter was killed while being handied after it was caught. Some were lost from the traps or died in the cars. But the others were anfely placed in the tanks the judice.

President's Policies Followed Here the president’s national policy of forest preservation and reforestation is rigidly adhered to.
