and suggestion, among the results being the
introduction of glll-nets in cod fishing, In
creasing the catch Of large fish and saving
$4,000 annually to the fishermen. Informa.
ton concerning the abundance of halibut near
Iceland has resulted in the establishment fr ON
New England ports of the Icelandic salt b. ali
but fishery, the yearly product of which is
worth from $4,000 to 100000, and the intro
ductlon OF safer and swifter fishing vessels has
secured greater immunity from loss of life and
property, better utilization of time and a
marked increase in profits as the catch can be
marketed In much better condition than here
tofore.
The importance of these changes in the
model and rig Of fishing vessels made through
the efforts of the commissioners is best illus
trated by the fact that from 1878 to 1888 the
loss by laundering at sea from Gloucester.
Mass, alone amounted to 80 vessels valued at
over $4OO 900, and 895 men, leaving hundreds
OF destitute widows and children.
METHOD OF INQUIRY
In the pollywoghood Of the commission per
sonal inquiry was made Of fishermen and Others
concerning statistics, methods and relations OF
the commercial fisheries. But as such means
were very inadequate circulars were from time
to time sent to well-informed persons in fishing
communities, through the agency of which,
valuable though less comprehensive and de-
tailed information than at present was
obtained. When the collection Of data for the
census OF 1880 began the methods of inquiry
and research were expanded, though their gen
erai features remained substantially the same.
But in 1885 Prof. Baird introduced new
method for the collection Of statistics of certan
vessel fisheries through the cooperation of the
Treasury Department BY this arrangement
circulars are now sent to all the COLLECTOR of
customs where there are fishing vessels, to be
niied ont from information gwen by some re-
sponnbie person connected with each vessel.

develop this method, but experience has
