My Lord, 
We have the honour to lay before you our Tenth 
Annual Report as regards the Fisheries under our superintendence 
for the year 1891, in terms of the Statute 45 and 46 Vict. cap. 78, 
consisting of two parts — Part I. General Report —Part II. Report 
on Salmon Fisheries. A third, or Supplementary Part, which will be 
exclusively occupied with scientific papers, is being prepared, but 
it has been found impossible to get it ready in time for presentation 
with this Report. It will be forwarded as soon as completed. 
PART I.— GENERAL REPORT. 
As the second quinquennial period of the Board since its recon- 
stitution in 1882 is coming to a close, the present is a favourable 
opportunity for taking a general survey of what has been done for 
the improvement and development of the Scottish fisheries during 
the ten years of its existence.
