ood fishes. 
e main points that have to be determined by the experi- 
ment are: (1) to locate the fishing ground ; (2) to ascertain by 
kind of fish ; ; and (3) to determine the amount of ice necessary 
to keep fish caught fresh and sound till brought “ market. 
The vessel, after some addition and alteration, sailed for her 
trial trip on the 13th of June and came back on the 23rd of the 
Elephant Point in worst pines condition, She again left on 
the 30th July for her third cruis 
The collection placed on the tabks consists of selected specimens 
of her catches in these trial trips. There are over 30 species of 
fish of which three are believed to be new to science and many are 
interesting specimens of Alcyonarians, fieuaaee with a few 
bs and other crustacea. In the catches the well-known Ising- 
lass fish (Polynemus — was plentifal, and so also were good 
sized soles and big skat 
The steam trawler fal taken out, each time, 15 to 20 tons of 
ice, and was successful in landing fish quite fresh and sweet with 
nearly more than half the quantity of ice left over.
