Abstract
As the owner of freshwater fishings in the north of Scotland, I am interested in the growth of brown trout. After making a pH survey of the waters in this area, it soon became evident that this pH reading was of very little use without knowing the factors which determined it, in Nature. Not wishing to be guilty of over-simplification or generalization, I would make it clear that these notes only refer to the natural acid waters as they occur here.
