40 ^ MADRAS FISHERIES BULLETIN VOL. XIV, 



Further extension of the activities of the department are 

 expected when the project matures of concentrating in one build- 

 ing, designed and built specially for the purpose, the three orga- 

 nizations which have bearing upon the welfare of the fisheries of 

 the country. I refer to the scheme for a great institution which 

 will house under one roof — («) The headquarters of the " Interna- 

 tional Council for the Exploration of the Sea," {b) The National 

 Fisheries organization, in charge of the Director of Fisheries, (c) 

 Laboratories for marine biological research in charge of the 

 University of Christiania.
