BIBLIOGRAPHY OF 1884 : FISHES. 



PAKT IV.-FISHES. 



In this department of the fauna, a very considerable amount of 

 what is written does not fall within the domain of science, but in 

 that of sport. It is, however, difficult in many cases to draw the 

 line, and to say what to include and what to exclude. The principle 

 which has actuated us has been to exclude all mere angling notes, 

 but to include everything which may be deemed to be useful in any 

 way as indicative of the fish-fauna of the locality to which the note 

 may relate.
