208 TRANSACTIONS LIVERPOOL BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



meshes, was adopted by the Storthing as well as by 

 Dr. Hjort. This gentleman, however, thought that the 

 manner proposed was not detailed enough to give a 

 reliable result, and ordered Mr. K. Dahl to undertake a 

 series of contemporary investigations regarding the 

 currents, &c, in the Fjords. Consequently we have two 

 different reports — one from Mr. Dahl concerning his own 

 work, of which I know nothing, and one from me relating 

 to our joint investigations. 



The results arrived at are contrary to one another. 

 Mr. Dahl calculates the currents, and concludes that the 

 fry must have been carried out to sea. I have proved that 

 the fry are in the Fjords, and Mr. Dahl has handled 

 and measured everyone of those caught; but of this he 

 says nothing. Mr. Swenander, who has been conducting 

 investigations in the Trondhjemsf jord for three years, has 

 arrived at conclusions entirely different from those of 

 Dahl. 



Dr. Hjort agrees with Mr. Dahl. He admitted, 

 however, at the last meeting of the Fiskeriraad, that he 

 had greatly altered his views during the last eight years, 

 " and that he had found that he then did not know so 

 much about fishery matters as he thought he did," but he 

 did not s&j on what points his opinion was altered. 



Yours truly, 



Gr. M. Dannevig."
