APPENDIX. 



SOME ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE IN FAVOUR OF EYED-HOOKS 

 FOR TROUT, SALMON AND FLOAT FISHING. 



As it is obviously impracticable to quote the full text of all the communica- 

 tions from which the following extracts are taken, it has been necessary to 

 omit a good deal of criticism on my own hooks, and those of others, 

 both encomiastic and the reverse. The dates of the letters, &c., quoted, 

 are, however, given, so as to facilitate reference to the full text if desired. 

 The letters appeared in the Fishing Gazette where not otherwise stated.
