ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT SERIES 



Since the beginning of the Administrative Report Series, considerable confusion 

 has arisen concerning the system of numbering the separates composing it. 

 Inasmuch as the Reports of the Divisions vary in order from year to year, many 

 have found their designations as "Appendix No. I, II, III, or IV" very confusing. 

 To relieve this, it has been decided to number them as 'Administrative Report 

 No. — ." Inasmuch as 20 separates had already been printed in this series before 

 starting the numbers, it was deemed advisable to begin the numbering with 

 Administrative Report No. 21. Of course, numbers cannot be printed on those 

 already off the press, but for the information of those who wish to know what the 

 first 25 were, they are numbered for filing purposes as follows : 



No. 1. Report, Commissioner of Fisheries, 1931. 



No. 2. Alaska Fishery and Fur-Seal Industries, 1930. 



No. 3. Fishery Industries of the Ignited States, 1930'.

No. 5. Propagation and Distribution of Food Fishes, 1931.

Note that the last Commissioner's Report was for 19;32. Since then its place 

 has been taken by a reprint from the Report of the Secretary of Commerce under' 

 the title "Bureau of Fisheries." Inasmuch as it is no longer a Bureau publica- 

 tion, it is not numbered : but it will be supplied to any who request the Report of 

 the Commissioner for any year since 1932.
