Ail the fisher- men agrée that they hâve caught no Grilse. The tishmongers also say they get no Grilse from the Scvern ; what hsh they get are large, mature fish. This point may therefore be regarded as established. The large fish, that is, fish over ,875 grammes hâve disappeared. A record of those caught has been kept for some years. For the last tive years 8 is the highest nuniber. Table 111 shows the number for 10 years.
