waters by the " John Fell." It was intended to carry out 

 a somewhat extensive fish-marking experiment on this 

 cruise, but a report of poaching by a steam trawler (which

The recaptures reported shew no unusual features. 

 They were mostly made South of the places of liberation. 

 Fishing there is, of course, more extensive than to the 

 immediate North.
