94 V. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES 



James W. McCurley, W. B. Matthews, John W. Webster, Roscoe 

 Dwiggins, Arthur Kahn, and F. L. Clavelaus, jr. (deceased), students 

 at the University of Maryland receiving aid from the Federal Emer- 

 gency Relief Administration, worked in our nutrition laboratory at 

 College Park, assisting in the conduct of studies on the vitamin 

 content of fish oils. These men, during the school year, spent several 

 hours per day in the laboratory. 



At George Washington University, Washington, D. C, William 

 H. Conway and William J. P. Howard, medical school students 

 receiving aid from the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, were 

 detailed to a study of the development of disinfectants for sponges in 

 household use. This project was under the joint supervision of the 

 Bureau and the university, and the details of the investigation are 

 described elsewhere in this report. 



EDUCATIONAL AND CONSULTING SERVICES 



In addition to the activities described in this report, our economic 

 and technological staff conducts an educational and consulting service 

 for those interested in the fisheries. Some of these functions and 

 services have been discussed or referred to in previous paragraphs of 

 the report. In addition, various members of the staff have con- 

 ducted lectures and practical demonstrations relative to the fisheries 

 and the fishery industries at various State educational institutions and 

 at public gatherings of various sorts. Further, members of the staff 

 have delivered radio addresses on various fishery subjects. The Bureau 

 or the division also answered many thousands of letters on fishery 

 subjects and has supplied information to persons who have called at 

 the Bureau, personally. Many of the latter have come from foreign 

 lands to seek information on the conduct of the fishery industries in 

 the United States, which might be useful in the more orderly conduct 

 of the fisheries of their native lands. 



PUBLICATIONS OF THE DIVISION 



During the calendar year 1934 the following publications were 

 prepared and addresses delivered by members of the division's staff. 

 These do not include the monthly statistical bulletins of the landings 

 of fishery products at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., Portland, Maine, 

 and Seattle, Wash., nor the monthly reports on cold-storage holdings 

 of frozen fish and quantities of fish frozen. The fishery reports and 

 circulars may be purchased at the prices shown from the Superin- 

 tendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, 

 D. C. The statistical bulletins and special or S-memoranda are 

 distributed free of charge upon request to the Bureau. The special 

 articles may be obtained from the sources of publication. 



Those wishing to receive current copies of this report and statis- 

 tical bulletins issued by the Bureau should request that their names 

 be placed on the Bureau's mailing lists nos. 128 for the annual statis- 

 tical report, 12Sa for general statistical bulletins, and 12Sb for monthly 

 cold-storage reports. Those desiring historical statistical data on the 

 domestic fisheries for the period 1880 to 1929 should consult the 

 report entitled "Fishery industries of the United States, 1930" by
