FISHES WITH RED FORKED TAILS.
The Macon Telegraph describes a new kind of tish, which certainly presents some very odd features : ' The hugest ones are not more than two inches long, and the smallest so small it would require a microscope to distinguish it from an atom oi ! green moss. They have largo black eyes set prominently in the head, which is the largest part of the fish. The tails are red and forked. There is no numbering their legs, which seem to perform the ollice of fins while they swim on their backs. Several persons have examined them, among the number being some who .have made fish culture a study, but none of them cm tell us what they really are.'
