General Report. 



An account of Mr. Garstang's examination of the experimental and 

 statistical e\"idence bearing upon the alleged depletion of the Trawling 

 Grounds has been published in the Journal of the Association, in an 

 essay entitled "The Impoverishment of the Sea." This essay has 

 attracted considerable attention, both from scientific experts and from 

 those who take only a practical interest in fishery matters. Mr. 

 Garstang was called upon to give evidence, based upon the results 

 at which he had arrived, before the Select Committee of the House 

 of Commons on the Sea Fisheries Bill, 1900, and before a departmental 

 committee of the Board of Trade, which was making an inquiry into 

 the best methods of collecting fishery statistics. 



Mr. Garstang has also published a report upon the remarkable plague 

 of octopus which occurred in the English Channel during the summers 

 of 1S99 and 1900. and proved most destructive to the crab and lobster 

 fisheries.
