CANADA, THE LAND OF HOPE

By E. Way Elkington.

Containing 32 full-page illustrations from photographs. Large crown 8vo., cloth. Price 3s. 6d. net.

In this book the author endeavours to give an unbiassed statement of things as he saw them during an investigation of over eighteen months, in which time he travelled four times across the Dominion and visited nearly every town and place of importance where tourists, sportsman, and emigrant are likely to wander in search of their ideals. He interviewed men in every department of life. He chased the moose and fled from the skunk, he hunted bear and landed salmon. He froze in the mountains and melted in the streets. He sums up his impressions in these words : “ Canada is a land where Flope is enthroned and reigns supreme.”?

LIFE HISTORY AND HABITS OF THE SALMON, SEA-TROUT, TROUT, AND OTHER FRESH-WATER FISH.

By P. D. Malloch.

Crown 4to., profusely illustrated with photographs from nature. | Price 10s. 6d. net.

The author has made this branch of Natural History a life study. Having been brought up on the banks of the Tay and holding the position of Managing Director of the Tay Salmon Fisheries Co., Ltd., he has had a unique opportunity of thoroughly mastering the subject. à

Mr. Malloch has been able to clear up many points that have remained a mystery until now. The marking of smolts and their recapture as grilse and salmon in all their stages, would alone have justified the publication of this work.

The study of scales, of which there are about sixty illustrations in the volume, has also engaged his attention, and he clearly shows how one can tell the age, weight, and habits of the salmon, sea-trout, and brown-trout at any period of their lives.

The book will prove interesting to angler and general reader alike.
