Thus the gross charges amounted to Rs, 2,50,290-5-2 

 and, if the season receipts under chank fisheries up 

 to the end of June 1917, as given by Mr. Hornell, be 

 taken into account, the net cost of the department was 

 Rs. 14,501-12-4. 



In view of the fact that most of the work done is 

 purely experimental, the financial aspect of the work of 

 the department is satisfactory. 



7. General. — The Government consider that the 

 report of the Marine Biologist and that on the chank 

 fisheries should in future be combined into a single 

 ' Report on Marine Fisheries.' In view of Mr. Hornell's 

 remarks as to the duration of the chank season beyond 

 31st March the Government direct that for the purposes 

 of future reports the fisheries year will terminate on 

 30th June.
