Fishery lectures, not to give all tlie lectures myself as I 

 did on the previous occasion, but to ask various gentlemen 

 who have devoted special attention to some one branch of 

 the subject to give a lecture each on his own speciality. 

 AH those I asked at once kindly consented to co-operate, 

 and they have all, I know, taken a great deal of personal 

 trouble in the matter. There is every prospect that these 

 lectures will be a success. They are advertised as 

 follows : — 



A Course of short Lectures and Demonstrations on

 18th, 1897. The Lectures and Demonstrations will be
