Compared with January 1, 1921, this census shows a de- 

 crease of 39 species and a decrease of 2527 specimens. This de- 

 crease, however, is due to the fact that the Aquarium did not at- 

 tempt to stock up for the winter as fully as last year because of 

 [the construction work going on there.
