AMERICAN PUBLICATIONS ON NAUTICAL 

 SUBJECTS. 



THE following list will answer many of the questions as to infor- 

 mation on various subjects connected with yachting and canoe- 

 ing which are freqiiently asked us, and will no doubt prove useful to 

 many of our readers. Most of the books can still be obtained, though 

 a few are out of print. The demand for this class of literature is 

 rapidly increasing with the growth of water sports, and it will prob- 

 ably not be many years before the list-is doubled. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Inclosed herewith I send you a catalogue of American publications 

 on nautical subjects. 



An idea of the work involved in its preparation may be gained when 

 I state it was necessary to carefully examine the catalogues of about 

 thirty publishers, our principal library catalogues, and all the gov- 

 ernment lists available. 



Owing to the desultory manner in which works on these subjects 

 were published, I fear many omissions and errors have taken place, 

 and trust your readers will kindly point tnem out:
