Taylor and Wells. — Preservation of Nets and Lines. 73 



-or not the copper oleate would act as a preservative in that case? 



Mr. Taylor: My advice would be not to try copper oleate in fresh 

 water until we have made more experiments. We feel quite positive about 

 the results in salt water, but our experiments in fresh water are not turning 

 out so well. 



Mr. Millett: Have you made any experiments in waters at Cape Cod 

 or along the Nova Scotia or Labrador coasts? 



Mr. Taylor : We have a series now going on at Woods Hole. 



Mr. Millett: Would it make any difference, do you think, as to the 

 temperature of the water up there? 



Mr. Taylor: So far the Woods Hole series have been running like the 

 Key West series — not much difference.
