I wish it to be publicly understood that .in no manner am I responsible for such letters, whose comparisons are odious to all concerned -with this station, and I would deem it a favour if these correspondents ceased to air their views in such a public manner.- I aim etc., ■ ■ , David H. Graham, Biologist. Marine Fisheries Invertigation and Biological Station, Port Chalmers. June 14. ,
