Owing to the necessary arrangements in contempla- 

 tion of the sale of the former Fisheries steamer and the 

 delay in delivery of the " James Fletcher," Captain 

 Wignall's collections could not be so systematically made 

 as in former years, and the number is naturally reduced 

 in consequence. The results of the monthly observations 

 with the Hensen net and of the extensive series of 

 collections taken by Professor Herdman from the S.Y. 

 " Ladybird," are dealt with elsewhere in this report. The 

 other collections are in process of being worked up, and 

 reports upon them will be given later.
