Particulars of certain prosecutions under the Salmon Acts are dealt 

 with, and those referring specially to the observance of the weekly 

 close time and the necessity, owing to recent decisions, of removing 

 leaders of fixed nets on Sunday, if unable to do so on Saturday, are 

 taken notice of by the Inspector in his report. At the same time 

 reference is made to the possible purification of all pollutions as shown 

 by the results of investigations conducted by the Sewage Disposal 

 Commission. 



Appendices to the Eeport are on the following subjects : — 



I. Abridged Keports from Districts. 

 II. Results of Salmon Marking, with a Chart showing recaptures 

 on the coast (Sixth Paper). 



III. A Keport on a Male Kelt which had been accidentally 



retained in fresh water for a year, and which at the end 

 of that period was found to be again ripe. 



IV. A statement of the number of Scottish Salmon to which 



seals of the Fishmongers' Company of London had been j 

 attached, thus enabling a guarantee to be given that 

 though sold in the Annual Close Time they were captured 

 in the open season. 

 V. Eateable Value of Salmon Fishery Districts. 

 VI. List of Annual Close Times. 



VII. List of Chairmen and Clerks of District Fishery Boards. 

 VIII. An Index to Part II. of the Annual Reports from 1892 to 

 1907 inclusive.
