(No 83), which was labelled and placed in the .sea on the 30th of March when 

 it had a length of S 1 / 2 inches, in October the same year measured 1372 inches. 

 All the fish that have been caught again have grown somewhat larger, as far as 

 we know. 



That only the above-mentioned 51 labels have been sent in, is owing to two 

 reasons: 1) that the fishermen do not take any interest in the matter, so that 

 they will not send in the labeUed fish; 2) that the labels, most likely in the win- 

 ter 1894, have dropped off, i. e. they have positively grown out of the plaice, the 

 silver thread making its way along the interspinous bones and afterwards along 

 the fin-rays. I have seen several fish with a distinct scar after a labelling. 



I have not fully succeeded, therefore, in finding a sufficiently durable label, 

 but the results, nevertheless, seem to me to be of considerable interest. I shall 

 give them therefore in the following list. In the last column it is generally stated 

 by whom the fish have been measured; personally I have had the oportunity of 

 seeing them in a dried state only.
