Part III. — Twenty-third Annual Report 



IX.— GENERAL INDEX TO THE SCIENTIFIC REPORTS OF 

 THE FISHERY BOARD FOR SCOTLAND, 1883-1904, 

 WITH A LIST OF THE PAPERS CONTAINED IN THEM. 

 Prepared by Dr. Thomas Wemyss Fulton, F.R S.E., Superin- 

 tendent of Scientific Investigations. 



For some years it has been felt as a want, both by the staff of the 

 Board and by those engaged elsewhere in fishery investigations and 

 research, that there existed no general index to the numerous scientific 

 papers contained in the Annual Reports of the Fishery Board. These 

 reports now number over a score, extending back to the year 1882, and 

 they necessarily contain a large amount of matter dealing with marine 

 biology and physics, and relating to fisheries and fishery problems. 1 

 have endeavoured to supply the want referred to by the compilation of 

 the index and list of scientific papers printed in the following pages. 



In the index the numbers referring to the various reports are 

 enclosed within brackets ; from the sixth report onward, that namely 

 for 1887, the reference is to Part III. of the Annual Report, the 

 reports since the year named being divided into three parts, the third of 

 which is that devoted to scientific investigations. In the list of papers 

 the figures in brackets refer to the year of publication.
