   Note: The carp was originally from Asia, whence it was early
         introduced into Europe, where it is extensively reared
         in artificial ponds. Within a few years it has been
         introduced into America, and widely distributed by the
         government. Domestication has produced several
         varieties, as the leather carp, which is nearly or
         quite destitute of scales, and the mirror carp, which
         has only a few large scales. Intermediate varieties
         occur.
         [1913 Webster]
