In 1928, Zane Grey gave his gamefish collection of rod and reelcatches to the Museum. This, with the Sailfish Group, forms the bulkof the Gamefish Section. The Sailfish in this group is the mounted skinof a fish caught off the rocky coast of Cape San Lucas, Lower California.Many other fishes well known to anglers and sportsmen, or greatly de-sired as closer acquaintances, hang in these cases,—Salmon, Trout,Perch, Muskellunge, Barracuda, Yellowjack, Bonefish, etc. Of the lastnamed, we have a world record of 13% lb., from Bimini, Bahamas. Dr. Greys collection is especially noteworthy for its superb Tunasand )\Iarlins. On the wall nearby hang colored photographs of the cap-ture of some of these fishes and of some of his more recent Tahitiancatches. Charts of the World Record rod and reel catches hang on the wallin this section. 27
