Some waters not suited to any other species are suited to carp, and the purpose of the Bureau to supply this fish for such waters, preferably by transfer from other waters, should not provoke the criticism justly addressed to carp misplaced.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
