XL VIII ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



The breeding of that valuable game and food fish, the black bass. 

 received much attention, and some new observations of great practical 

 value were made. The compilation and completion of reports upon the 

 researches carried on involve time, and it is anticipated that certain 

 reports will be sufliciently advanced this season to justify publication 

 separately or along with the ''Contributions to Canadian Biology," 

 which the Marine Biological Station issues. During the season 1904 

 lines of study will be pursued of vital importance to the great lake- 

 fisheries.
