 In concluding this brief and fragmentary review of the fish of Lord Howe, 

 it may not be ont of place to consider the position and prosperity of the 

 island in relation to the future fish supply oi the arge coast towns oijscw 

 South Wales. As at present cxisting.the supply of fresh fish to bjdnoy 

 and its suburbs, especially the latter, is lamentably deficient, ioi many 

 years doubtless the fishing-grounds of the rnam-land coast w,ll bo quite 

 capable of supplying any increased demand which may spring up. . Y\„?f 

 otfier hand, a time will come when even this supply will be msuificicnt bo Ii 

 from an increasing population, decrease quantities of the fish caught and 

 other causes. Public attention will then be directed to Lord Howe island, 

 as the one place capable of at once affording a good, who esome and copious 

 supply of food-fish, within easy distance of the coast, and aff'ordmg facilities 

 for the prosecution of the industry. The greater part of the island itself, from 

 its peculiar physical conditions, is practically useless for either agricultural or 



Giinther.
