 In making his original plans for the sys- tematic investigation of the waters of the Uni. ted States and the biological and physical problems they present, Commissioner Baird in sisted that to study only the food-hshes would be of little importance. and that useful conclu- sions must needs rest upon a broad foundation of investigations purely scientific in character. The life history of species of economic value should be understood from beginning to end but no less requisite is 1t to know the histories of the animals and plants upon which they feed or apon which their fod is nourished the his tory of their enemies and friends and the friends and foes of their enemies and friends. as well as the currents. temperatures and other physical phenomena of the waters in relation to migration reproduction and growth
 In pursuance of this policy the bureau has secured the services of many prominent men o9 science. and much of the progress in the arti- tcial propagation of fishes in the investigation of fishery problems, and in the extension of knowledge of cur aquatic resources has been due men eminent zoologists who have been associated with the work temporarily Their services have been the services of specialists for particular problems, and through them the bureau has not only been able to give 10 the public the practical results of applied science but has contributed to pure science valuable knowledge of all forms of aquatic life
 The importance to the fishing interests of the work of the bureau in connection with the economic fisheries is widely appreciated and freely acknowledged. The statistical inquiries of the bureau afford the only adequate basis for determining the condition and trend of the fisheries and the results of legislation, protec. tiOn and cultivation Among the numerous special matters in which the bureau has bene- tited the fisheries the following may be men toned
 By bringing to the attention of American fishermen methods and new apparatus, new fisheries have sometimes been established and new fields exploited

Great Lakes, and other sections; to studies or the interior and coastal waters and their in habitants, and to exploration of the oh-shore fishing banks. The cultivation of useful fishes was soon taken up throughout the country and quickly attained large proportions The natur- al expansion of the work was materially aug mented from time to time by acts of congress, and fin comparatively short time the opera tons came to have a very wide scope.
