12 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 
Large quantities of fish have been caught along the coast, in 
bays, rivers and ponds annually and sent to market. We do 
not in this statement refer to the shell fisheries of the State, for 
which New Jersey is noted all over the whole world. 
We have been unable to find any approximate value of the 
fish, other than shad, that are annually caught for the market or 
home consumption. 
WHAT THE NEW JERSEY BOARD OF FISH AND GAME COMMISSION- 
ERS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY ARE DOING TO STOCK 
THE STREAMS AND OTHER WATERS WITH FISH. 
For the past two years, under the Hon. Benj. P. Morris as 
President, this Commission has been doing good work in this 
branch of their duty. The Commissioners of the State Museum 
and the Curator feel gratified for the assistance received from 
the Fish and Game Commissioners and to know the two Com- 
missions are working in harmony. In our last report we gave 
credit for the specimens received from the Commissioners, to 
show what it did to assist the State Museum Commission in its 
Fish and Game Exhibit at St. Louis. We quote the following 
from the report of the Fish and Game Commission of 1904: 
“Tt is with no little pride that your Commission refers to the 
exhibit of the State of New Jersey at the St. Louis Exposition. 
Your Commission worked in harmony and assisted in every way 
possible the New Jersey Commissioners to the Exposition in pre- 
paring the exhibit. 
“In addition to the fish and game exhibits already mounted 
and prepared, which the State had on hand in the Museum at 
Trenton, your Commission procured through the wardens the 
following fish and game for mounting purposes, to wit: 
“Two large-mouthed black bass, male and female; 2 cat fish, 
male and female; 2 yellow perch, male and female; 2 Delaware 
river shad, male and female; 2 carp, male and female; 2 sea 
bass, male and female; 2 porgies, male and female; 1 polluck; 
1 king fish; 2 butter fish; 1 fluke; 1 weak fish; 1 eel; 1 herring;
