SEA-FISHERIES LABORATORY. 198 



CLASSES, VISITORS, AND EQUIPMENT AT 



THE PIEL LABORATORY. 



By A. Scott. 



The Education Committee of the Lancashire County 

 Council voted a sum of money sufficient for forty-five 

 studentships for bond fide fishermen residing in the 

 administrative County of Lancaster, to be held at Pi el, in 

 the spring of 1904. Applications for these studentships 

 were invited early in February- By the middle of March 

 about 130 names had been sent to the Superintendent's 

 Office, or to Piel. The same number of studentships were 

 offered in 1903, and for these 02 applications were received. 

 It is evident, therefore, that a very keen interest is now 

 being taken in these classes. 



The forty-five studentship holders were divided into 

 three classes of fifteen men to each, as shown in the 

 following lists : —
