Report on Salmon Fisheries. 



ix 



The practice of affixing leaden seals to salmon placed in cold 

 stores and sold during the annual close time has been continued by 

 the officers of this Company, and a return dealing with this 

 matter is also supplied. As compared with the number sealed in 

 the winter of 1906-7, there is an increase of 776. The total 

 number of Scottish salmon sealed was 1404.
