The remark here and elsewhere repeated, is worth consideration, as suggest- ing the habits of salmon. " Seventeen of the thirty- five salmon caught this year in the bucks, were caught in one buck (viz., i\iQ fi...rst biick)." 1800. "It proves in this year that we caught twenty-nine salmon, that weighed 3881bs. One thing we have to notice, that this year we made use of a long purse-net to the first buck, fixed so as to admit the fish after passing through the stopper-hole ; but we found, on trial, that this did not answer, as we had several salmon killed in it ; therefore, we discontinued the practice after this and the following season." The first buck, however, again proved most successful, though not so much so as formerly.
