kuckee, and at the Pan-American Exposition; and it is doubted if 

 such excellence had ever before been attained in this line of live 

 animal photography. 



To numerous angling and sportsmen friends who have aided 

 us with kindly advice and counsel we are duly grateful. 



In conclusion we may say that our aim has been to make a 

 book which will prove useful and entertaining to anglers; to com- 

 mercial fishermen and dealers in fish and fishery products; to teachers 

 and others who wish to inform themselves regarding our vast array 

 of food and game fishes; and to the multitude of intelligent men 

 and women who have an interest in Nature and Nature Study.
