director's report. 355 



by Mr. Scott and Mr. Holt. The present report, drawn up by Mr. 

 Holt, deals with the experiments in their more immediately practical 

 aspect, as affecting those problems which the Sea Fisheries Committee 

 has had under consideration. The investigations have at the same 

 time furnished valuable material for the discussion of general questions 

 relating to the distribution of fishes at different ages, and of the food 

 upon which they live in the various localities. It has been thought 

 better however not to include this material in the present report, but 

 to reserve it, together with much similar material collected in the 

 neighbourhood of Plymouth, until sufficient observations have been 

 brought together to form the basis for a comprehensive discussion of 

 these subjects.
