ADDENDUM. 63 



that the most ardent Pisciculturist would never dream of. On the 

 other hand, carriage of a few Grayling caught by anglers below to 

 the river above the Falls would be quite an easy matter, and this I 

 venture to think is a correct solution of "how Grayling got into 

 the Yore above Aysgarth Force." At the same time I have not 

 the least doubt but that our aquatic feathered friends have also 

 aided in the introduction of Salmo thymallus into the waters of the 

 upper Yore. Grayling are now found in the Yore in numbers up 

 to Widdale Beck, which joins the main river about a mile and 

 a-half above Hawes. Widdale Beck itself contains no Grayling, 

 but is well stocked with Trout, and this remark will apply to all 

 the tributaries which empty themselves into the Yore on both sides 

 of the valley from Aysgarth up to its source on the north-west side 

 of High Abbotside. An odd Grayling or two are at times caught 

 in the Yore above the junction of Widdale Beck, but from that point 

 the river is not worth the attention of the Grayling fisher. The 

 water in the district mentioned above is preserved by the Hawes and 

 High Abbotside Angling Association ; their rights extend from the 

 " Moor Cock " eastward to Bainbridge. Mr. Beckwith Thompson 

 is the Secretary, and the " Crown " Hotel (landlord, Mr. J. 

 Fawcett, Hon. Sec.) is the headquarters of the Club. Anglers 

 will find every accommodation there or at the "White Hart" 

 (Mr. Hy. Wild), or at the "Fountain" Inn (Mr. Hodgson). 

 Day tickets are 2s., week 5s., or 10s. for the season. In addition 

 to the above-named hotels, many of the farmers and others have 

 accommodation for visitors. Their names can be found in the 

 Guide Books issued by the North Eastern Railway Company, 

 There are Railway Stations at Hawes Junction, Hawes, Askrigg, 

 and Aysgarth. Hawes is a capital fishing centre, and J. Blades, 

 the well-known angler, is ever ready to give every information to 

 angling visitors. At Bainbridge, the angler will meet with every- 

 thing he desires in the way of bed, board, etc., at the " Rose and 

 Crown " Hotel (Mr. G, E. Chierici), who is a practical angler and
