26o SPORT IN EUROPE 



In writing- about game in Portugal it would be an unpardonable 

 omission not to mention the names of Edward Montufar Barreiros, 

 Visconde d'Athouguia, and J. Beiptista P^ernandes, who as sportsmen 

 and shots are equal to the best to be found anywhere. The modesty 

 of these, our friends, would be satisfied, but not so our conscience. 



Although Portugal is a country so richly endowed with rivers, 

 streams, and streamlets, all rich in fish, from the salmon of the 

 Minho and Lima to the trout of all the streams in 

 the north, the number of fishermen is so limited 

 that we can truly say this sport does not exist in Portugal. If 

 we count the amateur fishermen, we are certain the number would 

 not, even including those who fish in the ocean along our coast so 

 rich in fish of every kind, reach a hundred. On the coast, for three 

 years. His Majesty the King D. Carlos has, for purely scientific 

 purposes, undertaken during the summer months oceanographic 

 expeditions, the useful scientific results of which are given in the 

 most lucid reports which His Majesty publishes every year.
