1180 KEPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. [42] 



science is doing this grand and useful work ! Let the eulogy of Professor 

 Huxley upon the ingenuity, energy, and scientific knowledge of Pro- 

 fessor Baird and his assistants find a general echo in our homes, as well 

 as here and now, to the end that something of that praise which comes 

 after our labors are done may greet these fishers in the waters of science 

 while they are in full hope, faith, and life to enjoy our laudations!"*
