Appendices to Twenty- fourth Annual Report 



APPENDIX I. 



REPOETS FROM DISTRICT FISHERY BOARDS. 



As hitherto, the annual reports from District Fishery Boards and 

 others are presented in the form of answers to queries issued after the 

 close of the fishing season. On this occasion the arrangement has been 

 somewhat modified in order to give the reader a more comprehensive 

 result than has previously been possible. 



In issuing the queries I have at the same time intimated that, with 

 the replies, I shall be glad to receive communications on matters of 

 special interest which any District Board desire should be brought to 

 the notice of the Fishery Board for Scotland. 



Reports from 34 districts are here included.
