John Savage, third year Honour Biology, University of Toronto. 



P. W. Smith, M.S. (Wis.), Department of Botany, University of Toronto. 



George C. Toner, fourth j'ear Biology, Queen's University, Kingston. 



Five of the above are undergraduates, but it should be noted that four of 

 these had one or two years' field experience in connection with fisheries' investi- 

 gations. 



During the year, the following qualified assistants entered the services of 

 the Branch on a full-time basis, namely, Miss Margaret Wilton, B.A., '22, 

 Queen's University, Kingston, as technical laboratory assistant; Mr. W. H. R. 

 Werner, M.A. (Biology), '29, University of Western Ontario, London, as 

 Assistant Biologist; and Mr. John Gall as Assistant Supervisor of Hatcheries. 



Biological Surveys 



Stream and lake surveys were organized, as in the previous year, according 

 to districts supervised by District Superintendents, and the number of waters 

 investigated in the Province from the standpoint of their present suitability for 

 fish-planting operations, which depends on their physical, chemical and biological 

 characteristics, and possible productivity from a game-fish or fishery standpoint 

 was two hundred and thirtv-seven.
