pected in view of their proficiency in the lakes, rivers, and canals, 
where their devices are exceedingly ingenious and very efficient. 
During the recent visit of the Imperial Chinese Commissioner 
to America, our fish cultural and fishery methods were made the 
subject of special inquiry, with a view to their introduction into 
China.
