A detailed account of the life history of salmon by the then Inspector of salmon fisheries of Scotland". For a considerable number of years now I have had probably as many opportunities as any one, and more than most people, of observing the fish in its various stages of life, and of attempting to elucidate the problems it presents. I have endeavoured to make [this book] an accurate record of facts as they appear to me".
