south of New England there is no
such laboratory at which the fauna can
be investigated. This will doubtless
continue to be the condition unless the
Government co-operates in this work.
since research laboratories open to the
public are not established by private
individuals or CORPORATIONS. We can
hardly expect any State to establish
such a laboratory, for the reason that
the larger problems to be solved relate
to fishes which are migratory along the
shores of dozen or more States.
Our knowledge OF the life history OF
the food fishes and their food supplies
and of the fauna of the Middle and
Southern Atlantic coast is extremely
meagre, and yet it is sufficiently great
for us to have learned It's high economic
value and its deep interest in connec-
ton with the great fishery problems of
the country.
We submit herewith a letter from the
Commissioner OF Fish and Fisheries
recommending the passage of the bill
with certain amendments:

and Fisheries,

The boats and their officers will each
season be transferred from the neigh
borhood hatchery at Edenton, N. c..
after the shad season.
Woods Hole Station work is eXpen-
sive, for the reason that the fish culture
(hatching) work there costs several
thousand dollars Il year. This will not
be the case at the southern laboratory,
which will study the breeding and feed
ing grounds and habits of all the food
fishes, oysters etc, and will only un-
dertake hatchery work in an expert
mental and inexpensive way.
We herewith append an extract from
a report of the Senate Committee on
Fisheries in favor of this bill, submitted
by Senator Perkins for the committees:
Cd The object Of this station is
the investigation OF problems connected
with the marine fishery interests of
the Atlantic coast from Long Island to
Florida. just as the stations already
| established on the New England coast

similar problems for these regions.

naturalist of the country in connection
with these matters, has well said that
all such observations should be carried
on year after year In connection with
the regular work of n government Fish
Commission Station, for the reason that
they are not only germare to its in
vestigations, but are essential to its
full success.
ca The special advantages offered
by the North Carolina coast region for
the location of such Il station grow out
of the fact that ii is midway ground,
where the more northern forms extend
ing southwark and the southern forms
from Florida extending northward
overlap in their distribution. And
about these extensive North Carolina
sounds there is an intermingling OF
fishes and other marine forms from all
this Middle and South Atlantic coast.
Cane Hat.eras, which was once sup
posed to form dividing line between
the northern and southern faunas,
does not constitute such a division in
any important sense in connection with
the fishery interests, as these forms
pass easily aroung the cape and enter
the sounds freely at the several inlets.

the cane. About Beaufort Harbor,
where it is proposed to locate this
station, the fauna of the open sea,
that of the partially inclosed sounds
| (where both salt and braclsish waters
are found, and that of the neighboring

close proximity. and consequently we
| find there animal life in greater variety
and probably greater abundance than
at any other point on the Atlantic. This
fauna includes and furnishes food for {,
large variety of food fishes and other
abundant economic forms. such as the
| oyster. clam. shrimp, crab. etc.
| (5) The policy of maintaining few
! Fish Commission stations at which
ample opportunity is offered for such
| Investigations has been fully justified
by the history of the station on the
New England coast at Woods Hole.
| The results of the purely voluntary

commission to ask Congress to provide

ATLANTA, Aug 2.-With bullet hole
in his head, Bascom L. Wyatt was
found lying dead on the floor of the
toilet room in a passenger. coach when
the Western and Atlantic train arrived
from Chattanooga.
1t was at first thought that he had
committed suicide, but closer investi-
CATION showed that the killing had been
due to a most remarkable accident. The
pistol had been discharged while in the
coat pocket, the coat hanging upon a
hook, and the explosion of the cartridge
is believed to have been caused by the
swaying of the car striking the hammer
against the door panel.
Mr.. Wyatt was travelling salesman
and left Atlanta in the afternoon. When
he bought ticket at the union depot
he purchased an accident insurance pol
icy for $1,000.
