MODERN AUTHORITIES AND REFERENCE BOOKS.--_History and Literature:_ Prof. A.N. Mayer, _Sport with Gun and Rod_ (New York and Edinburgh), with a chapter on "The Primitive Fish-Hook," by Barnet Phillips; Dr.R. Munro, _Lake Dwellings of Europe_ (London, 1890), with many illustrations and descriptions of early fish-books, &c.; H.

Badham, _Prose Halieutics_ (London, 1854), full of curious lore, relating, however, more to ichthyophagy than angling; _The Angler's Note-Book and Naturalist's Record_ (London, 1st series 1881, 2nd series 1888), edited by T. Satchell, the two volumes containing much valuable matter on angling history, literature, and other topics; R. Blakey, _Angling Literature_ (London, 1856), inaccurate and badly arranged, but containing a good deal of curious matter not to be found elsewhere; O. Lambert, _Angling Literature in England_ (London, 1881), a good little general survey; J.J. Manley, _Fish and Fishing_ (London, 1881), with chapters on fishing literature, &c.; R.B.

London, 1890), contains a paper on "The Useful and Fine Arts in their Relation to Fish and Fishing," by S.C. Harding; _Super Flumina_ (Anon.; London, 1904), gives _passim_ useful information on fishing literature; T. Westwood and T. Satchell, _Bibliotheca Piscatoria_ (London, 1883) an admirable bibliography of the sport: together with the supplement prepared by R.B. Marston, 1901, it may be considered wonderfully complete.
