KEPOKT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. XLIX 



by exchange, prominent among which were collective exhibits from 

 Greece, Spain, India, Sweden, and China ; an Irish currack from the 

 Marquis of Hamilton; illustrations of the net-maker's art, from Mr. W. 

 B. Tegetmeier; a Danish vessel model, from Mr, Arthur Feddersen, of 

 Yiborg; &c. A considerable collection of fish-cultural appliances was 

 given to the new National Fisheries Museum at South Kensington, in 

 exchange for objects from India and China. 



The prize list, as far as it can be tabulated from published official an- 

 nouncements up to April 1, 1884, stands as shown in the following table. 

 Comment is unnecessary, except to remark that the United States has 

 no reason to complain of its treatment at the hands of the juries, the 

 acknowledgment of our iDarticipation in the substantial form of medallic 

 awards being even greater than we had hoped for. 



Eighteen gold medals and four silver ones were given to the Fish 

 Commission, and one gold medal to the National Museum. 



In addition to the medals and diplomas tabulated below there were 

 received seven special money prizes, in value aggregating £65 ster- 

 ling, or $325, and seventeen diplomas of honor, given for "special serv- 

 ices rendered " in connection with the exhibition.

* Of the 155 gold medals awarded exhibitors of the United Kingdom, England received 110, Scot- 

 land 38, Ireland 7. 



An International Exhibition of Agriculture and the Fisheries was held 

 at Aalborg, Denmark, in June. In response to an invitation from the 

 authorities, and with my approval, Mr. Goode sent over a number of ob- 

 jects which he had no room to display in London. The result was the 

 award of a silver medal to the U. S. Fish Commission, and ten bronze 

 medals to special exhibitors, chiefly of fishery products.
