Dr. Tarleton H. Bean, New York: There seems to be some mis- 

 take about the planting of codfish and catching of codfish around Long 

 Island. I believe there is a gentleman in this Aquarium who has seen 

 cod seined in Gray's Inn Bay. The station at Cold Spring Harbor, 

 Long Island, has planted codfish, not last year, but in previous years, 

 and is ready to continue that work just as soon as the powers that be 

 will grant the necessary appropriation for the purpose. We cannot 

 do it without money.
