PREFACE 



In condensing into one book my four volumes of The Salmon 

 Rivers of Scotland, want of space has necessitated the omission 

 of the whole of the text illustrations, together with four chapters 

 which endeavoured to deal with the salmon problems of the 

 day. 



As far, however, as information is concerned, this book 

 contains the concentrated essence of the original four volumes, 

 and I venture to hope that my readers may find in it Saumon 

 en papillate. 



AUGUSTUS GRIMBLE.
