As expressed b}^ the Commissioners in their last report, it is their 

 earnest desire to make the report a correct and comprehensive account 

 of all the fisheries of this State, and it is hoped that all who can will 

 render such aid as they may towards accomplishing this end. 



A correct account of the catches or any unusual occurrence will be 

 thankfully received and appreciated. 



While the Commissioners will spare no pains to collect information 

 relating to the fisheries, they must depend upon the aid and coopera- 

 tion of fishermen and others for statistics and other interesting matter 

 relating to this subject. 



We cordially invite all who have had personal observation or experi- 

 ence of special interest to correspond with us, and thus greatly add to 

 the value and interest of the report.
