COMMISSIONERS OF INLAND FISHERIES. 45 



CHAPTER VI. 



THE CO-OPERATION WITH OTHER FISHERIES AUTHORI- 

 TIES. 



Your Commission has been in correspondence with every State 

 Fish Commission in the country and has also been in communication 

 with the fisheries authorities of other countries. The most recent 

 letter was a request from the Northumberland Fisheries Committee 

 of Great Britain for thirty copies of the pamphlet published last year 

 descriptive of our lobster rearing apparatus. 



The annual meeting of the American Fisheries Society which was 

 held in St. Louis was attended by three members of your Commis- 

 sion. One member of the Commission was re-elected to an important 

 office and another was appointed on the executive committee. 



Your Commission wishes to acknowledge among many other 

 courtesies the receipts of 20,000 salmon eggs from the United States 

 Bureau of Fisheries.
