Report, has not yet come into active operation. There 
seems now, however, a fair prospect that this branch of 
Technical Instruction will soon receive here the attention 
that it merits. The principle of the scheme—the course 
of instruction and the allotment of the money—have been 
approved by the Sea-Fisheries Committee, the County 
Technical Instruction Committee, and the Senate of 
University College, Liverpool. The Lancashire County 
Council has decided to offer two Fisheries Scholarships of 
£60 a year each for two years, and a number of Fisheries 
Studentships of £10 to£15 each. The details of the entrance 
examinations were, however, not arranged in time to 
permit of the scheme being started at the beginning of the 
present College Session. The Liverpool City Technical 
Instruction Committee have allowed certain of their 
scholarships to be used by “‘ Fisheries”’ students, and 
two such scholars have already (Oct., 1899) commenced 
work in the Zoological department. It is to be hoped 
that at least one Lancashire County ‘‘ Fisheries’”’ scholar 
may be enabled to start his curriculum in January, 1900. 
Turning to still higher Fisheries Education and Research, 
the Committee will be interested to know that I have now 
working with me at University College one of the holders 
of the ‘©1851 Exhibition”’ from the University of Wales, 
Mr. J. T. Jenkins, B.Sc.; who, in addition to other pieces 
of work, is engaged on an investigation of the digestive 
glands of oysters, and other edible shell-fish, and the 
changes they undergo with varying conditions of health. 
We have had as visitors during the year, at the Liverpool 
Laboratory and at the Piel Hatchery, Mr. Woodall of 
Scarborough, Mr. Fryer of the Board of Trade, Mr. Gray of 
Millport Biological Station, Dr. Knut Dahl of Throndhjem, 
Dr. Oscar Nordgaard of Bergen, and finally, Mr. K. Oku 
(Chemist to the Imperial Fisheries Bureau at Tokyo) who
