Curiosity into intelligent observation. Apart from actual 

 students, the more intelligent or earnest enquirers 

 would readily be given permission to observe in the 

 upper storey laboratory processes and results, and to 

 consult the technical library or museum of models and 

 implements, so that the aquarium would become an 

 educational institution of much practical value, and one 

 which might become the nucleus of a general Fisheries 

 Association and of a Fisheries school. 



13. I beg, therefore, to commend to Government the 

 proposal to locate Fisheries in the upper storey of the 

 new aquarium, and to provide it, at very moderate 

 expense, with such laboratory and other facilities as will 

 enable us to obtain the above advantages for the 

 aquarium, for the department and for the public. 



The above letter was referred by G.O. No. 2336, 

 Revenue, dated ist August 191 1, to a committee 

 mainly of scientists who reported as below.
