It is very desirable that the gut should be dyed, in order todeaden its silvery ghtter, which is too conspicuous in the water,and ofter scares the fish. The best preparation for this purposeis dark green tea, which brings it nearly to the colour of waterAvhen sHghtly discoloured by rain, at which time the fish aremost apt to bite freely. Too much attention cannot be paid by the angler to thequality and condition of his gut-lengths, or to the properadjustment of the knots and loops by which it is fas

It is stated that in the spring, which is itsspawning season, it frequents the small rivers that fall into LakeSimcoe—^which discharges itself by the Severn into LakeHuron—and that it feeds on small, gelatinous, green baUs,which grow on the sides of banks under water, and on smallfishes.* This great Pike is said, by Dr. Richardson, to attain theweight of twenty-eight pounds, but it unquestionably grows toa much larger size,

From this sljort excursion, into which 1 have been naturallyled in the course of my subject, I return to the description ofthe gill-covers of fish, and thereafter to the dental system, themethod of comparing which I shall lay down briefly for the useof the learner, and then proceed at once to the history ofSporting Fislies.

The extent to which the growth of the Salmon hasbeen overrated will be perceived at once, when it is known thatDr. Knox, in the paper from which I have akeady quoted, statesthat the fry which emerged from their capsules on the 1st ofApril were taken, on the 22nd of the same month in the sameyear, as Smalts, with the fly, of the size of the little finger.

The Northern Pickerel is taken up to the weight of sixteen orseventeen pounds, but rarely, I believe, exceeds that weight.It is an exceedingly handsome fish, longer and slighter, inproportion to its depth, than the Mascalonge. Its body is four-sided, the back broader and flatter than thebelly; the vertical diameter is equal to about one-seventh of theb

They may be taken with a hook and angle-worm, but it is anasty slimy business, and affords no sport to compensate thedisagreeable nature of the labour.
