The Salmon's life presents so many remarkable problems — some 

 of them, owing to the difficulties attending scientific observation, 

 almost insoluble — that a considerable literature already exists on 

 the subject. It is only in the last few years, however, that anything 

 like a systematic investigation has been carried on in Scotland, and, 

 from his acquaintance with the operations of the Fishery Board, 

 Mr. Calderwood is able to speak with special authority. He traces 

 the history of the fish from its youth up, and has most interesting 

 chapters on the results of marking, on scales as records of a fish's 

 journeyings, and on the effects of changes of water-temperature upon 

 the growing fish. 



MY ROCK-GARDEN. 



By REGINALD FARRER, 



Author of 'The Garden ok Asia,' 'The House of Shadows,' 'The Sundered 

 Streams,' etc.

Rock-gardening appears to have a peculiar fascination for its 

 devotees, and certainly in this book the attractions of the art find a 

 very able exponent. Mr. Farrer is a recognized authority. His 

 rock-garden at Ingleborough is well known among those who share 

 his love of the subject, and he has been a remarkably successful 

 exhibitor at the London shows. His pages, though conceived for 

 the most part in a light-hearted vein, contain an abundance of 

 practical information on sites and soils, and his amusing glimpses of 

 the joys of the successful collector in Switzerland and Japan will 

 make a responsive echo in the breasts of similar enthusiasts. The 

 book, which describes the making of the garden as well as the 

 innumerable things which, with luck, it is possible to grow in it, is 

 illustrated by a number of excellent photographs.
