 much that is good in t , is work that it is ;-. i , , ,.. to see that 

 a new edition has been fcsued with tdl the imperfections of the old 

 oue. if Mr. Scott had lived lie would have torrectcd these most 

 glaring errors because lie was a progretsive man wlio would have 

 taken advantage of the wealth of nsh lore whlvh has appeared in 

 print wit.aia the past ten years. He certainly would not have ahoned 

 the .statement on page SB, wherein he . de.-iares the whale ami porpoise

 natural history to appear. .As a salt witter angler Sen is good 

 authority. Not so good on fresh water fishing; and on the classifi-
