LAKES AND RIVERS. 9 



reference will be made to the marine animals which 

 visit rivers, but space will not admit of their minute 

 description. The results of my examination of fish 

 attacked by the too-prevalent fungus Caprolignea 

 ferax, for the Salmon Fisheries Report laid before 

 Parliament in 1878, will also be given. 



Although the work is for the most part systema- 

 tically arranged, yet for the sake of variety a ramble 

 among the marshes of Sussex, descriptive of the 

 nesting habits of the marsh birds, and six months of 

 aquatic life in Sussex will be given. An account of a 

 few of our most typical rivers and their fisheries has 

 also been included. Figures of most of the freshwater 

 mammals, birds, and fish are given.
