MUSEUMS. 37 
The efforts made to keep the tropical African Fishes in a healthv 
condition continue to be successful, and the great interest taken in 
them, both by specialists and the ordinary visitor is marked. 
The Trout tanks continue in good condition. As the fish from the 
various hatches increase in size, they become too large for the 
accommodation available, and a number of specimens of Rainbow 
Trout are presented each year either to the Parks and Gardens 
Committee for distribution in the Park lakes, to the City Angling 
Association, or to local pisciculturists. 
The Seal is in good health, has grown very much in size, and 
continues to be a great attraction to both young and old. Classes 
from the Elementary Schools continue to make special visits to the 
Aquarium, and Mr. Clubb occasionally takes the opportunity of 
giving short addresses to them. 
Captain Griffiths, of the Corporation Barge “ Beta,” continues to 
bring living specimens of Marine Fishes, and on the several 
occasions when the Assistant Curator has been out on the “ Beta” 
trawling for marine specimens for the British collections, the 
opportunity has been taken of bringing in suitable specimens alive 
for the tanks. 
The following species have been exhibited alive during the year, 
those with an asterisk being alive at the date of this report (new 
labels, with coloured drawings of the species living in the tanks 
have been affixed above certain tanks) :—
