PLATE II 



Shooting the 4^ m. net. Note the stiffening wires stretched across 

 the mouth of the frame and the central fair-lead to take the 

 throttling wire. 



At the time when this photograph was taken the net was not rigged 

 for closing but was being used to tow a large and heavy tank 

 specially designed for the capture of live pelagic fish by Prof. 

 A. C. Hardy of Hull.
