CANADA, THE LAND OF HOPE. 



By E. Way Elkington. 



Containing 32 full-page illustrations from photographs. 



Large crown 8vo., cloth. Price 3s. 6d. net. 



In this book the author endeavours to give an unbiassed statement of things as he saw 

 them during an investigation of over eighteen months, in which time he travelled four 

 times across the Dominion and visited nearly every town and place of importance where 

 tourists, sportsman, and emigrant are likely to wander in search of their ideals. He 

 interviewed men in every department of life. He chased the moose and fled from the 

 skunk, he hunted bear and landed salmon. He froze in the mountains and melted in the 

 streets. He sums up his impressions in thèse words : "Canada is a land where Hope is 

 enthroned and reigns suprême." 



LIFE HISTORY AND HABITS OF THE 

 SALMON, SEA-TROUT, TROUT, AND 

 OTHER FRESH-WATER FISH. 

 By P. D. Malloch. 



Crown 4to., profusely illustrated with photographs from nature. 



Price 10s. 6d. net. 



The author has made this branch of Natural History a life study. Having been 

 brought up on the banks of the Tay and holding the position of Managing Director of the 

 Tay Salmon Fisheries Co., Ltd., he hashad a unique opportunity of thoroughly mastering 

 the subject. 



Mr. Malloch has been able to clear up many points that haveremained a mysteryuntil 

 now. The marking of smolts and their recapture as grilse and salmon in ail their stages, 

 would alone have justified the publication of this work. 



The study of scales, of which there are about sixty illustrations in the volume, hasalso 

 engaged his attention, and he clearly shows how one can tell the âge, weight, and habits 

 of the salmon, sea-trout, and brown-trout at any period of their lives. 



The book will prove interesting to angler and gênerai reader alike. 



MINOR TACTICS OF THE CHALK STREAM, 

 AND KINDRED STUDIES. 

 By G. E. M. Skues. 



Royal 8vo., cloth. Price 



Trout-fishing in chalk §treams has been exhaustively treated from the dry-fly point of 

 view in récent years with the resuit that wet-fly fishing on chalk streams has practically 

 ceased to exist. In this work an endeavour is made to show how, on many occasions and 

 under many differing conditions of wind and weather, the wet-fly fîshed up-stream to indi- 

 vidual trout may fully justify its employment to supplément ihe dry fly, and may add to 

 the weight of tne creel without infringing the most rigid code of fair sport. This is the 

 chief of the author's " Minor Tactics," but with this materiai he gives the reader the 

 benefit of the expérience of nve-and-twenty years of chalk-stream fishing in the shape of 

 devices which he has found heipful, and observations, some of which at least he believes 

 to be new.
