Excerpt from Fish Bulletin, Vol. 2: The Scientific Investigation of Marine Fisheries, as Related to the Work of the Fish and Game Commission in Southern California The existence of wide variation in the accessibility of fish, especially species found on the surface, shows that statistical evidence drawn from commercial catches may not in itself mean decreasing abundance unless allowance is made for the factors which cause this wide variation. Because of this, it seems overwhelmingly important to examine the various fisheries from a biological viewpoint, in order that other supple mentary indices to the condition of the fishery be discovered. In fact, so important is the subject, that even were the statistical criteria satis factory ih themselves, the conclusions drawn from them should be corroborated by additional evidence, naturally biological in character.

Excerpt from Bulletin of the United States Fish Commission, Vol. 2 No one will deny that this is a grand idea, and the only question was for Mr. Von dem Borne to furnish the proof of its practicability. Mr. Von dem Borne has done this in the presence of a specially invited com pany of representatives of the authorities most interested in this matter, by laying his plan before them on the occasion of large pond-carp fish eries near his estate of Berneuchen. The result was such as to remove all doubt from the minds of those present as to the feasibility of Mr. Von dem Borne's plan for increasing the productiveness of large sheets of fresh water. It may therefore interest our readers if we lay before them an outline of this plan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
