ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT SERIES 



Since the advent of the Administrative Report Series, considerable confusion 

 has arisen concerning its sj^stern of numbering the separates composing it. Inas- 

 much as the Reports of the Divisions vary in order from year to year, man}'- 

 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 vi'ith 

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

 alread}^ off the press, but for the information of those who wish to know what 

 the first 20 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. P'ishery Industries of the United States, 1930. 



No. 4. Progress in Biological Inquiries, 1930. 



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



No. 6. Report Commissioner of Fisheries, 1932. 



No. 7. Alaska Fislier.y and Fur-Seal Industries, 1931.

No. 9. Progress in Biological Inquiries, 1931. 



No. 10. Propagation and Distribution of Food Fishes, 1932. 



No. 11. Alaska Fishery and P'ur-Seal Industries, 1932. 



No. 12. Progress in Biological Inquiries, 1932.

No. 19. Alaska Fishery and Fur-Seal Industries, 1934. 



No. 20. Fishery Industries of the United States, 1934. 

 Note that the last Commissioner's Report was for 1932. 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 j-ear since 1932.
