REVIEW— on TRAWLING REPORT or 1884.

this examination of results is all the more necessary, since in
1893 another important body—via,the Select Committee of the
House of Commons on Fisheries, presided over by Mr Marjori'
banks, M.P.—issued a new Blue-book containing the nding
of the Committee and a mass of evidence.
'
ln criticising this Report on Trawling it is necessary to bear
in mind that Certain denite instructions were given by the
Commission in regard to the hauls of the trawl. These fall
under Section 6, and are as follow :—‘ The results of each -haul
of the trawl, so far as regards food—shes, should be carefully
registered, in order that positive data may be obtained:
,
‘ (a) _As to the proportional quantity of '
immature shes
taken at various seasons.
‘(b) . As to the destruction of the spaWn of food-shes.

As to the proportion of live and dead shes."
