These three papers give extensive statistics on the size (principally length) of 
various fish, falling in different age and locality groups. Usually the sexes are 
treated separately. The material is in the main unreduced. It seems likely that 
with proper biometrical reduction much of value might be made out of it from the 
standpoint of general problems of variation.
