The second ‘etcetera’ is rather a bulky one, being in fact a 
fishing boat! As such boats made of inflatable india-rubber 
can now be obtained at several waterproof manufactories, 
and at a reasonable price, and as the comfort of one of 
them on many fishing expeditions, especially in lake districts, 
is simply not to be exaggerated, I think fishermen travelling 
en luxe will be wise to make a portable boat part of their 
equipment. 
They are made to hold ‘any number’ of people, and 
even a boat of the smallest size is steady enough for all the 
purposes of the fly-fisher. 
CORDING'S COLLAPSING FISHING BOAT. 
The boat figured in the engraving obtained a prize at the 
late Fisheries Exhibition. 
The Berthon folding boat is also exceedingly well adapted 
to fishing purposes. The Marquis of Exeter has tried several 
different patterns of these boats, and speaks very highly of 
them. I forget the exact weight; but one shown at ‘the 
Fisheries Exhibition, seven feet by three feet, to carry two 
persons, could be easily lifted by a small boy.
