NOTE 
The first section of this volume, entitled “Bureau of Fisheries,” constitutes 
what was known in years prior to 1933 as “Report of the Commissioner of 
Fisheries.” Since then, in the interests of economy, it is a reprint from the 
“Annual Report of the Secretary of Commerce.” The pagination, therefore, 
is the same as that of the Secretary’s Report, rather than beginning with page I. 
This report covers two administrations of the Bureau of Fisheries. Commis- 
sioner Frank T. Bell resigned, effective March 21, 1939, and the duties of that 
office were assumed by Charles E. Jackson, as Acting Commissioner, on that date.
