SEA-FISHERIES EXHIBITION. 
As the Sea-Fisheries Committee desired that Lancashire 
should be represented in the Yachting and Fisheries Exhi- 
bition held at the Imperial Institute last summer, Mr.

during the spring, an exhibit which should illustrate both

Wood-working Department of University College. These

A. Examples of the results obtained from the scientific 
work in the Fisheries Laboratory. 
B. Samples of the scientific papers and reports and 
the statistics and other statements as to the fisheries 
published by the Committee, and of photographs, draw-

of this district. 
C. Specimens of fish taken with various nets, samples 
of meshes, models of nets and various other fishery 
implements, gauges, and other illustrations of the work of 
the Administrative Department. 
These three cases together cover all the varied activities 
of the Committee’s work. In addition our exhibit included 
samples of nets and trawls, maps, charts, regulations and 
notices, models of boats, &c., &e. 
The Lancashire exhibit was not at all well placed at 
the Imperial Institute. In place of being beside the
