The first edition of this important and comprehensive work has 

 been out of print for a couple of years, and, as the demand for it 

 appears to be fully sustained, the author has been engaged in the 

 interval in preparing a thoroughly revised edition. Since Mr. 

 Calderwood's book was first published a considerable amount of 

 fresh material has become available. The fishing records have 

 been brought up to date wherever it has been possible, and 

 modifications in the general conditions on various rivers are 

 described. In some cases, of which the mouth of the Gala is an 

 instance, these are due to improved systems of purification, and 

 in others to the activities of bodies whose interests lie in other 

 directions than salmon-fishing. 



Mr. Calderwood, who is Inspector of Salmon Fisheries for 

 Scotland, treats the different rivers according to circumstances ; 

 in the case of large rivers such as the Tay, Dee, and Tweed, the 

 different fisheries are described. Records of the catches of salmon 

 over a period of years are given in many cases. Valuable infor- 

 mation is afforded as to the extent of estuaries, the amount of 

 netting, obstructions that hinder the passage of fish, and the 

 sources of pollution. The names of the proprietors and lessees of 

 the principal fisheries are indicated, and also the hotels that provide 

 salmon-fishing. The Lochs at the head waters of the rivers are 

 included, so far as they are accessible to salmon. The maps, 

 which are a feature of the work, have, of course, been retained in 

 the new edition. 



Although the book forms a genuine work of reference on the 

 subject, it is eminently readable by all who take an interest in the 

 salmon in the way of sport, natural history, or vocation. Many a 

 good yarn is scattered through its pages, and much information on 

 the life and habits of the fish. 



PRESS OPINIONS OF THE FIRST EDITION. 



"Simply indispensable to the salmon fisher." The late Mr. ANDREW LANG 

 in the Morning Post. 



" From the pure angling point of view there are no end of things mentioned 

 of interest, including many accounts of sport. But the chief value of 

 Mr. Calderwood's book, to my mind, is its faithful presentation of the salmon 

 rivers of Scotland as they have been, as they are, and as they might become.
