The Americans, like ourselves, having suffered from a diminution in the supply of food-fislres, 

 the Government appointed a commissioner, the Assistant Secretary of the Smilhsonion Institution, 

 to undertake a special scientific investigation. The result of his inquiries are before us in the 

 present volume. It contains an elaborate account of all that relates to the subject : the natural 

 history of the fishes, their food supply, habits, breeding grounds, methods of culture, and 

 numerous facts relating to the subject under inquiry. The testimonies of some of the early 

 colonists to the extraordinary abundance offish at a former period are very interesting.
