a day, unable to secure half a dozen small fish in our 

 southern streams. The angler who can kill trout in 

 streams such as Tweed, Gala, or Almond,* which are 

 fished by dozens every day, may rest assured that 

 he is quite able to kill them wherever they are to be 

 found. 



* Mr. Stewart here seems to allude to the Mid-Lothian and 

 Linlithgowshire Almond, from which almost all fish life has now 

 been driven by the paraffine works.
