166 Part I11.—Twenty-third Annual Report 
IX.—GENERAL INDEX TO THE SCIENTIFIC REPORTS OF 
THE FISHERY BOARD FOR SCOTLAND, 1883-1904, 
WITH A LIST OF THE PAPERS CONTAINED IN THEM. 
Prepared by Dr. THomas Wemyss Futon, F.R8.E., Superin- 
tendent of Scientific Investigations. 
For some years it has been felt as a want, both by the staff of the 
Board and by those engaged elsewhere in fishery investigations and 
research, that there existed no general index to the numerous scientific 
papers contained in the Annual Reports of the Fishery Board. These 
reports now number over a score, extending back to the year 1882, and 
they necessarily contain a large amount of matter dealing with marine 
biology and physics, and relating to fisheries and fishery problems. 1 
have endeavoured to supply the want referred to by the compilation of 
the index and list of scientific papers printed in the following pages. 
In the index the numbers referring to the various reports are 
enclosed within brackets; from the sixth report onward, that namely 
for 1887, the reference is to Part III. of the Annual Report, the 
reports since the year named being divided into three parts, the third of 
which is that devoted to scientific investigations. In the list of papers 
the figures in brackets refer to the year of publication.
