BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION. 
LIST OF CHARTS AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS BEARING UPON THE FISHERY 
INVESTIGATIONS OF THE STEAMER ALBATROSS. 
The Fish Commission publications here enumerated include only the reports 
descriptive of the hydrographic and fishery in vestigations of the Albatross , and a few 
papers from the u Fisheries and Fishery Industries of the United States,” which con- 
tain a complete review of all that was known respecting the marine fisheries and 
fishing-grounds of the Pacific coast down to 1882. The charts of the U. S. Coast and 
Geodetic Survey and Hydrographic Office o'f the Navy are those on which the soundings 
of the Albatross have been plotted, and they also otherwise illustrate the regions over 
which her work has been extended. The most useful charts for the Alaskan coast, in 
connection with this subject, are Fish Commission Nos. 19,20,21,22; Coast Survey, 
S and T, together with the several harbor charts, and Hydrographic Office chart 68. 
The general coast charts of the Coast Survey, on a scale of 1 : 200,000, constitute a 
uniform series covering the entire coast line of Washington, Oregon, and California, 
and contain a sufficient amount of detail to answer for most fishing purposes. For 
the work accomplished south of California, the Hydrographic Office charts and Fish 
Commission No. 25 should be consulted.
