— XLIX — RFPORT 1902-03 APPEND. C 



trawling work. For this purpose the English steamer "Huxley" has made compa- 

 rative trials with the Dutch steamer "Wodan", and with the German steamer 

 "Poseidon". Arrangements have been made for completing comparative trials with 

 the Scottish steamer "Goldseeker" and the Danish vessel "Thor" before the end of 

 October. A report upon these trials will be presented to the Committee at its 

 next meeting. 



Synthesis of the Trawliug Records aud Migration Experiments. It has not 



been thought desirable to attempt any synthesis of the results of the various 

 participating countries before the end of the first year's work. I have, however, 

 devoted much attention to the English records, in order to devise methods for 

 suitably summarising the data which will eventually be placed at the disposal of 

 the Committee; and proposals to this end will be submitted to the Committee at 

 its next meeting.
