THE LIFE OF THE SALMON. 
With Reference more especially to the Fish in Scotland, 
By W. L. CALDERWOOD, F.R.S.E., 
InsPpEcTOR OF SALMON FISHERIES FOR SCOTLAND. 
Demy 8v0. Wath Illustrations. 7s. 6d. net. 
The Salmon’s life presents so many remarkable problems—some 
of them, owing to the difficulties attending scientific observation, 
almost insoluble—that a considerable literature already exists on 
the subject. It is only in the last few years, however, that anything 
like a systematic investigation has been carried on in Scotland, and, 
from his acquaintance with the operations of the Fishery Board, 
Mr. Calderwood is able to speak with special authority. He traces 
the history of the fish from its youth up, and has most interesting 
chapters on the results of marking, on scales as records of a fish’s 
journeyings, and on the effects of changes of water-temperature upon 
the growing fish. 
MY ROCK-GARDEN. 
By REGINALD FARRER, 
AUTHOR OF ‘ THE GARDEN oF Asta,’ ‘THE House or Suapows,’ ‘ THE SUNDERED 
STREAMS,’ ETC. 
Large Crown 8vo. Wath Illustvations. 7s. 6d. net. 
Rock-gardening appears to have a peculiar fascination for its 
devotees, and certainly in this book the attractions of the art find a 
very able exponent. Mr. Farrer is a recognized authority. His 
rock-garden at Ingleborough is well known among those who share 
his love of the subject, and he has been a remarkably successful 
exhibitor at the London shows. His pages, though conceived for 
the most part in a light-hearted vein, contain an abundance of 
practical information on sites and soils, and his amusing glimpses of 
the joys of the successful collector in Switzerland and Japan will 
make a responsive echo in the breasts of similar enthusiasts. The 
book, which describes the making of the garden as well as the 
innumerable things which, with luck, it is possible to grow in it, is 
illustrated by a number of excellent photographs.
