IX. The Continued Investigation of the Life Historyand the 

 Habits of the Lobster in all Stages of Growth, to 

 Furnish a Basis for Legislation and Commercial 

 Enterprises. 



It has been our custom (adopted from the U. S. Bureau of Fish- 

 eries), ever since the experiments in lobsters were begun, to hberate 

 the old lobsters from which the eggs had been taken. Tags have 

 been placed upon the beaks, with a number and a request that the 

 tag be returned by the finder. In this way considerable information 

 has been collected each year in respect to the movements of lobsters 

 in the ocean. We submit the record of the past year in the same 

 tabular form as in former reports.
