Sir, — I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated 16th 

 January 1908, on the subject of the protection of fisheries in the Bombay 

 Presidency, and to state that the Governor in Council has taken the matter 

 into consideration. The Governments of Madras and Bengal have instituted 

 inquiries into the question of fisheries so far as those Presidencies are con- 

 cerned, and this Government is in correspondence with those Governments on 

 the subject of their investigations. 



1 have the honour to be, 

 Sir, 

 Your most obedient Servant, 

 (Sd.) J. E. C. Jukes, 

 Acting Under-Secretary to Government.
