2. Six Hauls with a Fish Trawl in Luce Bay, on 

 November 18th, 1905. 



By permission of the Fishery Board, the third day's 

 trawling was deferred to Xovember 18th. On this occa- 

 sion, all plaice of 13 inches and over in length were 

 brought back alive for hatching purposes. By making 

 use of this limit of size an average of from 15'5 inches to 

 15 inches (according to the haul) was obtained. On the 

 whole, plaice were scarcer and smaller on this date than 

 was previously the case. With this exception, the results 

 are fairly similar to those recorded above, and need not be 

 separately discussed.
