Ii. Fisa Hatcuine. 
The military restrictions in connection with the defence 
of Barrow, and the possibility that the tank-house might 
be required for housing men engaged in outpost duty at Piel, 
interrupted the hatching operations in 1915. The men are 
now accommodated in huts, but the restrictions still prevail. 
Fishing is prohibited in Barrow Channel, but it would have 
been possible to collect adult flounders in the estuary of the 
Lune or the Wyre for hatching work in 1916. There is always 
a certain amount of danger in bringing live fish across the 
bay in the cutter in winter, and as it would also have been 
difficult to furnish the authorities with the precise time of 
arrival, the landings might have been delayed. For these 
reasons it was decided that it was inadvisable to resume 
hatching operations while the present restrictions remain 
in force. 
III. DistriputTion oF FisH EaGs IN THE PLANKTON. 
The only sources of information relating to the distribution 
of fish eggs in the central area were again this year the samples 
of plankton collected bi-weekly in Port Erin Bay and im- 
mediately outside. There is little to add to the report published
