Dr. James L. Kellogg, assisted by Mr. George H. Sherwood, lias 

 conducted a series of experiments to test th(^ rate of growth of the 

 clam and the feasibility of clam cultivation. The results of these 

 experiments will be published in a special report. 



Mr. George H. Sherwood has carried on a series of observations for 

 the purpose of determining the cause of the migrations of fish. Mr. 

 Vinal N. Edwards's valuable records of the times of arrival and 

 departure of various species of fish visiting the Woods Hole region 

 have proved of great service in this work. 



In 1898 Professor McClure, assisted by Mr. C. F. Sylvester, began 

 a comparative study of the circulatory system of fishes, which has 

 been continued during the present year. The nets and traps of the 

 Commission have provided him with material for this work.
