 " The examination of the tow-nettings collected by the 

 L.M.B.C. in various parts of the Irish Sea, which has been 

 carried on from the beginning by my late friend and 

 fellow-worker, Mr. I. C Thompson, with so much success, 

 as his many reports testify, has, at Professor Herdman's 

 suggestion, been handed over to me. The following notes 

 are based on the investigation of 39 tow-nettings, taken in
