Reports from District Fishery Boards, in somewhat abridged 

 form, will be found appended to Mr. Calderwood's Report (p. 265). 

 i'ollowing these, will be found statements of rateable values, and the 

 corrected lists of annual close times applicable to the river districts 

 in Scotland, and a list of the Chairmen and Clerks of District Fishery 

 Boards. 



In connection with the Research into the migrations of the salmon 

 on the coast, it may be stated that arrangements have now been 

 completed for carrying on this work, in 1915, on the east coast of 

 Sutherlandshire between Brora and Loth. It is hoped also to 

 extend further the marking of smolts. From the experience already 

 gained it would appear that only by the marking of a very large 

 numtber of these little fishes and of grilse are results likely to be 

 obtained upon which reliance can be placed in forming an opinion 

 as to the distribution of salmon along our coasts, and how much one 

 district may be dependent upon another. 



PART III. 



SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS. 



During the year 1914 the scientific investigations in connection 

 with the sea fisheries were carried on under the supervision of Dr. T. 

 Wemyss Fulton, the Scientific Superintendent, as authorised by the 

 Board, on the same general lines as in previous years. Most of the 

 research work has been conducted at the Marine Laboratory at the 

 Bay of Nigg, and in the Laboratory at the Old Post Office, 

 Aberdeen, and other inquiries in relation to the herring and 

 the herring fishery have been made in Lochfyne in continuation
