THE SALMON RIVERS OF SCOTLAND 



am able to give the rod catches in quinquennial periods from 1871 

 tojl900, and the annual totals for the last eight years. It will be 

 noted that the period 1886-1890, in which the great week already 

 referred to was made, seems to have been a prolific one in the matter 

 of fish. The figures are :

An earlier record from all the principal fishings in the Lewis was 

 published in The Fourth Annual Report of the Fishery Board for 

 Scotland (for 1885), p. 282. I give the list without Barvas and Uig, 

 as their figures are insignificant. The blanks are either because the 

 shootings and fishings were unlet or because no record was kept. 

 The Grimersta record is, however, complete since 1871. The best 

 period seems to have been between 1886-1890.
