Abstract
[The following Tables record the measurement and enumeration of a number of characters in certain samples of Herrings taken in the neighbourhood of Plymouth. The work was carried out as part of a general scheme for studying the question of the existence of local races of herrings around the British Coasts, which was organised by the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries. In consequence of the war there is no immediate prospect of the figures being analysed and compared with similar figures relating to fish obtained in other localities. It has therefore been thought advisable to place them on record as they stand, so that they may be available for other workers at any time. The short explanatory statement of the methods employed was prepared by Dr. Orton, who had charge of most of the work, to accompany the figures when they were sent to the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, and was not written by him with a view to publication. The drawings have been made by Mrs. Sexton.—E. J. Allen.]
