[This Coiniiiission was ai)pointed by resolution of Conpjress on 

 the 9th February 187 1, and up to 1880 476,200 dollars had been 

 appropriated to its use. Thanks to the selection of an able Com- 

 missioner in the person of Professor Spencer F. Baird, ihe work 

 done has been commensurate with the expenditure. The " propa- 

 gation of food fishes" forms the staple of the Reports, and several 

 e.xcellent papers, original and translated, are included in. the 

 Appendices. The more important will be found in our pages under 

 the names of their respective writers. See Atkins, Kckharut,
