Part III. — Seventh Annual Report 



to the courtesy of a number of foreign gentlemen connected with 

 marine investigations, and to several British ambassadors abroad, 

 who have transmitted through the Foreign Office a series of valuable 

 Reports. Among those who have sent memoirs and other publica- 

 tions — sometimes of great interest and value-— or who have other- 

 wise assisted us, we have to thank Professor Giglioli, Florence; 

 Colonel Marshall Macdonald, the Fish Commissioner for the United 

 States ; Professor Brown Goode of the Smithsonian Institution ; 

 Professor A. F. Marion, of the Marine Laboratory at Marseilles ; 

 Professor Pouchet, of the w T ell-known Zoological Laboratory at 

 Concarneau ; Dr Sauvage, of the Marine Laboratory, Boulogne-sur- 

 mer; His Highness Prince Albert of Monaco; M. Eaveret Wattel, 

 Secretary to the Societe Rationale D'Acclimatation de France, Paris; 

 Captain G. M. Dannevig, of Flodevig, Norway; Mr Buch, of Bergen; 

 Dr P. P. C. Hoek, Scientific Supervisor of the Netherland Fisheries; 

 Lieutenant Dreehsel, Superintendent of the Danish Sea Fisheries; 

 Dr C. G. Joh. Peterson, of the Danish Scientific Fisheries Depart- 

 ment; and Professor Hensen, of the Kiel Commission. 



From the fact that a larger number of copies of our Annual 

 Report have now been placed at our disposal, we have been enabled 

 to arrange with various fishery authorities and scientific institu- 

 tions for an exchange of publications. Amongst them may be 

 named, the Minister of Marine, Canada ; the Royal Academy of 

 Science, Berlin ; the Imperial Academy of Science, Vienna ; the 

 Royal Meteorological Society, London ; the Royal Society of 

 Edinburgh ; the Scottish Meteorological Society ; the Kiel Com- 

 mission ; and Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. Copies have 

 also been sent to each of the Scottish Universities. 



It will be seen from the account given of the scientific fishery 

 work being carried on, that considerable activity is being displayed 

 in other countries in connection with fishery inquiries. Labora- 

 tories are being in some places provided and subsidised by the 

 Government for the purpose of prosecuting systematic fishery 

 investigations.
