ADDENDUM. 



The following extract from the '' Fish Trades Gazette " (London) 

 of the 9th March 1907 should be read with paragraph 12 of this Note. 

 It is an excellent illustration of Japanese thoroughness and assiduity : — 



"JAPANESE EXPERTS AT aRIMSBY. 



'' At the present time there are in Grimsby two Government fishery 

 experts from Japan studying branches of the fishing industry there with 

 a view of applying similar methods in their own country. These 

 gentlemen are Mr. S. Eujimura, director of the fisheries experiment 

 station, Government of Hokkaido ; and Mr. S. Nozawa, who holds 

 a similar office at Sapporo. In late years a number of Japanese 

 students have learned the technical and practical sides of fishing from 

 Grimsby by trawl and by line, and now in completion of the scheme 

 of the Japanese Government these two representatives have come 

 to know more particularly about the system of sales, packing, and 

 general distribution throughout the country. This in all its bearings 

 is a big question to tackle, for nothing is to be omitted, even to the 

 making of kits and boxes and the railway companies systems. Apart 

 from this the curing trade, the salt cod trade, the manufacture of fish 

 manure and fish oil will all come within their scope of inquiry, for 

 practically the same class of fish seen at Grimsby abounds round tlie 

 coasts of Japan."

 of insect life and some cereal food, usually cooked : in several places I 

 found that the pupae of the silk-worm after the removal of the silk 

 were a principal food, so that in silk districts carp, etc., can be very 

 readily and profitably grown ; carp so treated, however, require a special 

 feeding course before marketing. Properly fed carp will grow up to 20 

 inches in length within two years. Those who know the various temple 

 ponds in this Presidency where fish are well fed and are not kiUed, know

 Imperial Fishery Institute.
