to in Chapter IV. Other American angling books are 

 Henshall's Black Bass Fishing ; Hallock's Fishing Tourist, 

 and his A merican Sportsniaiis Gazeteer ; and Frank 

 Forester's Fishing with Hook and Line. The last files of 

 papers from America announce the appearance of FisJi : 

 their Habits and Haunts, and the Methods of Catching 

 them, by the late Lorenzo Pronty. 



For the purpose of reference, a list of some chief works 

 on Sea-Fishing, Ichthyology, and Pisciculture are 

 here added. 



Under those on Sea-Fishing to be specially men- 

 tioned is Mr. E. W. H. Holdsworth's Deep-sea Fishing 

 and Fishing Boats (Stanford, 1874), from which may be 

 fully learned all that an ordinary reader would wish to 

 know about the fishing industry round our coasts. Ber- 

 tram's Harvest of the Sea (Murray, 1865), The Great 

 Fisheries of the World described Q^eXson, 1878), Caux's The 

 Herring and the Herring Fishery (Hamilton, Adam, and 

 Co., 188 1 ), and The Fisheries of the World, now in course 

 of publication by Messrs. Cassell and Co. — are all full of 

 information on the subject. A little pamphlet, entitled 

 Sea Fisheries ; or, Christmas among the Fishermen of the 

 North Sea, which has been on sale at the Fisheries 

 Exhibition, may be read with interest. Many books 

 deal mainly with sea fishing as a " sport " — for instance 

 (without giving them in chronological order), Wil- 

 cock's Sea Fisherman (Longman and Co.), L, Young's 

 Sea Fishing as a Sport (1872), " Wildfowler's " Shoot- 

 ing and Fishing Trips (Longman & Co.), Lord's Sea Fish, 

 and hozv to catch them (Bradbury and Evans, 1862), 

 Brookes's Art of Angling, Rock and Sea Fishing, dating 

 as far back as 1740. There is valuable information, also 

 of a general kind, in Hearder's Degeneration of our Sea
