The catalogue at the rear, contributed by the publisher, William Pickering, has a separate title-page, "Bibliotheca Piscatoria: A catalogue of books upon angling", and is dated 1836. "This Catalogue of Works on Angling will be found more extensive than any hitherto published. It is formed upon Sir Henry Ellis's corrected copy of the List, which he contributed to the British Bibliographer in 1811, and which he kindly lent for the purpose. The various editions of the Treatise of Hawking, Hunting, and Fishing, by Juliana Berners, are described with greater accuracy than by any former bibliographer; and some editions are noticed of which the existence was unknown." The catalogue consists of twenty unpaginated leaves, [Ppiv,36]. .
