Kendall. — Blue Pike and Yellow Pike 267 



our proceedings of this meeting. Dr. Kendall has taken up some of the 

 problems which have been causing trouble wherever the steelhead and 

 rainbow trout are known, and wherever the blue and yellow pike are 

 marketed. The markets have always distinguished between the edible 

 qualities of the blue and of the yellow pike. 



One other point I would like to mention in this connection is this : 

 I visited New Zealand some time ago and saw a great deal of their 

 fisheries. Much importance has been attached to the size attained by 

 rainbow trout in New Zealand. There the brown trout, which in 

 Europe is a comparatively small fish, frequently run to ten, twelve, or 

 fourteen pounds. In the case of the rainbow trout, I saw a catch of 

 200, none of which was under 20 pounds, some of them even going up 

 to 25. The large steelhead trout I used to be familiar with on the 

 Fraser River were unlike these large rainbow trout. I hope that Dr. 

 Kendall will continue his studies and that we shall have something 

 further from him at future meetings of the Society. The study of the 

 blue and yellow pikes is, of course, of great importance from a com- 

 mercial standpoint.
