14 OFFICIAL KSPORTS ON SALMON FISHERIES. 



England and Wales, and also the names given to " the 

 young of salmon ; " to each name, whether adult or fry- 

 fish, there is a short description. Other results of my 

 observations a's to the structure, migration, and habits 

 of the salmon are also given in this report. 



Those interested in salmon should consult the last 

 Report issued by Mr. Walpole^ A. Young, and myself, 

 October, 1880 (C 2360), on the "Disease which has

 1873 (C 725), these reports have been published in Bvo 

 — a convenient and portable size ; and the reports can 

 be obtained through any bookseller from Eyre and 

 Spottiswoode, Queen's Printers, East Harding Street, 

 Fetter Lane.

I shall therefore content myself with giving the latest 

 information I can about Trout, especially those of a re- 

 markable size. In February, 1868, I received, through 

 the kindness of Octavius Morgan, Esq., M.P., and the 

 late Eev. Augustus Morgan, of Machen Eectory, New-
