Abstract
A VERY useful account of the Marine Biological Station and Fish Hatchery at Portobello in New Zealand has been prepared by the Hon. G. M. Thomson and the late Mr. Thos. Anderton, and is published as Bulletin No. 2 of the Board of Science and Art of the Dominion. There is an appreciative note about Mr. Anderton, a man of great practical ability, who began life as a mercantile marine officer and then became a marine zoologist: he organised the Portobello Station with conspicuous success. The work of this institution is remarkable for the very original experiments carried out in connexion with it, having in view the naturalisation of European fishes and other marine edible animals in New Zealand waters. These attempts are well known in a general way, but it is well to have detailed records of their methods and results.
