MARINE DEPARTMENT: ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1910-11.
Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.
My Lord,— Marine Department, Wellington, 20th July, 1911. I do myself the honour to transmit herewith, For Your Excellency's information, the report of the Marine Department of the Dominion for the financial rear ended the 81st March last. I have, ifec, J. A. Millar. His Excellency the Right Hon. Baron Islington, Governor of NVn Zealand.
I)(i Marine Department, Wellington, 25th May, 1911. I have the honour to make the following report on the work of this Department during the year ended the 31st March last. Shipping and Seamen Aim minimi Act. — The Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act, 1909, which was referred to in my last report, has been assented to by His Majesty on the understanding that a Bill will be introduced into Parliament next session to repeal section 41, to which the Imperial authorities take exoeption on the ground that the New Zealand law should not alter or nullify shipping contracts made outside the Dominion. Amongst other things, the Act provides that steamers plying exclusively on any lake or within river or extended river limits may be exempted from carrying a certificated master *>v engineer; that certificates granted to masters, mates, and engineers elsewhere in the British D inions may l>e recognized in New Zealand: that no person shall engage or supplj seamen unless he is the owner, master, mate, or engineer of a ship, or is a Superintendent of Mercantile Marine; that no seaman is to W allowed to eign an agreement t.. serve on a ship unless lie understands the English Language; that British foreigngoing ships of not less than 1.0(1(1 tons gross tonnage gong to sea from New Zealand are to carry certificated cooks: that ships of :!()() tons register and upwards registered in New Zealand or engaged in the coasting trade are to be provided with sanitary, hospital, ami lavatory aocommoda tion for the crew: that the Minister may withhold for such period as he thinks fit the certificates of discharge of seamen who fail to join their ships after they have been lawfully engaged; that when the restricted limits of steamers are reduced, masters and engineers who have been plying within the limits before reduction may continue l<. ply in the same limits: that load-lines may be fixed for ships employed in carrying sand, shingle, gravel, cement, or other dead-weight cat-., in river and extended rivei limits, and for home-trade vessels under '-'(I tons register carrying similar oargoes; that the Governor in Council may require New-Zealand-registered ships carrying passengers to be fitted with wireless-telegraph apparatus; that before the building of a ship of over 25 tons gross tonnage in New Zealand is commenced plans and specifications are to be submi,,, ~i l(1 a nd approved by the Minister of Marine; and thai the Governor in Council may make regulations for the inspection of wool, flax, tow. skins, or other goods! liable to spontaneous combustion before shipment on foreign-going ships. _ During last session of Parliament an Act to further amend the Shipping and Soamon Act. 190S was passed. This Act provides that seamen employed in ships plying or trading between New Zealand and the Commonwealth of Australia and the Cook Islands are to pay the current rate of wages for the time ruling in the Dominion : and that, in the case of ships plying or trading between New Zealand and the Commonwealth of Australia and the Cook Islands which are manned wholb or in part by Asiatics, passenger tickets and bills of lading and shipping documents for

cargo shipped in the Dominion are to be liable, in addition to any duty payable under the Stamp Act, to a stamp duty equal to 25 per cent, of the passage and freight money; bul this provision as to additional stamp duty is not to apply in cases where the ourreni rate of wages ruling in the Dominion is paid. An Ad w;is also passed last session to amend the Harbours Act, 1908. By this Act the constitution of Harbour Boards has been altered, and provision is made that the elective members are to be elected by the electors of districts, and by payers of harbour dues on ships, and 1» \ the payers of harbour dues other than dues cm ships. The members appointed by the Governor have been reduced in the case of many of the Boards. Various other amendments which the working of the principal Act has shown to be necessary have been made. The necessary regulations for the elect in]i iii' members of Boards by payers of dues, owners of ships, and by the electors of combined districts were made by the Governor in Council before the elections which were held on the 26th ultimo, and the principal authorities for conducting the elections in the case of combined districts were appointed. Mercantile Marine osee«.—The engagement and discharge of seamen and the other work performed by the Superintendents and Surveyors of Ships have been carried out efficiently. These duties are increasing, and in the case of Auckland it has become necessary to appoint another Surveyor of Ships, and at Wellington n cadet has had to be appointed to assist in the office. The work will be further increased by the coming into operation of the Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act. 1909. Captain Dykes. Examiner of Masters and Mates and Surveyor of Ships at Auckland, has been appointed an Inspector of Compasses. A representation has been made to the Department that a steajnship-owner is entering into agreements with his crews for a period of three months in order to reduce his liability in cases of illness of the men. There is no power to prevent this, as the law only provides a maximum time for which articles of agreement ma\ run. Should the practice complained of continue, it may become necessan to amend the law to prevent seamen being deprived of the benefits conferred upon them by section llfl of the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908. A company belonging to Australia, whose steamers are registered in that Commonwealth, having disputed liability under section "•") of the' Shipping and Seamen Act. 1908, to pay the New Zealand current rate of wages during the time its ships are running between ports in the Dominion in the course of their round trips between Australia and New Zealand, a special case was submitted to the Supreme Court, and removed into the Court of Appeal, which decided that such wages must be paid. Appended is a return of the number of seamen engaged and discharged at the various ports, and of the fees received for engagements and discharges. The transactions exceeded those of the previous year by 5.705, and the fees by £399 ss. (id. Returns are also appended showing the accidents to seamen, the amounts paid to sick and disabled seamen under section 119 of the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908, and the prosecutions of seamen by masters and others for various offences. In connection with the benefits conferred upon seamen In section 119 of the Act. it may be mentioned that the amending Act of 1909 increases these benefits as follows, viz. :— (1.) Where the engagement of a seaman expires within one month after the commencement of his illness he is u> be entitled to the benefits of the section for a month after the expiry. (2.) Seamen of home-trade ships are to receive expenses of maintenance and medical attendance for the same period as they are entitled to wages. (.'!.) In the case of the death of a sick seaman arising out of illness or accident his burial expenses are to be paid by the owner. Proceedings were taken by the Department against the following persons in connection with seamen: The master of the scow "Altair." for employing a seaman without entering into an agreement with him. A line of fl and costs was imposed. V. Richardson, a deserter from a ship, for making a false declaration for the purpose of enabling him to obtain a permit to ship as A.B. He was sentenced to a month's imprisonment. G. Hall, tor a similar offence. He received similar punishment. The master of the s.s. "Durham," for taking a third officer to sea without entering into an agreement with him. - lie was convicted and ordered to pay costs. Masters, Mates, mid Engineers. —The examination of candidates for certificates of competency has been carried out in a very satisfactory manner: .">l(i candidates passed their examination and 141 failed. Of those who passed. 227 were masters, mates, and engineers of sea-going ships. IS were masters and engineers of steamships plying within restricted limits. 8 were masters of fishing-boats and cargo-vessels in. to 25 tons register, 28 were engineers of sea-going ships propelled by oil-engines, and 35 were engineers of similar vessels (living within restricted limits. Provision is made in the Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act, 1909, for the issue of certificates of service as master and engineer of oil-engine vessels up to (i tons register to persons who served ii such capacities for at least a \ear before the coming into operation of the Act. and a very large number of applications lor these certificates have been received. 'Ilie provision for these certificates was made because the Act requires the boats referred to to carry certificated master or engineer, whereas previously they were exempt. The Hoard of Trade has made a regulation increasing the period of service required to qualify lor examination for engineers' certificates from the Ist January, 1915. and a similar regulation will be made by this Department.

Captain Wilcox, Assistant Superintendent of Mercantile Marine and Surveyor of Ships at Lyttelton, has been appointed an Examiner to enable him to conduct the examinations during the absence of Captain Marciel on leave, and Mr. A. E. Maoindoe, Surveyor of Ships, has been appointed an Examiner of Engineers. Appended arc the reports of the Principal Examiner of Masters and Mates and lists of certificates issued during the year. Registration of Shipping, Mr. I!. I!. Walter, a Customs officer at Nelson, has been appointed a Surveyor of Ships m> that he may measure ships for registration. Returns are appended showing tin' vessels registered in New Zealand cm the -list December last, and the numbers of seamen and buys employed on them. Survey of Ships. —During the year certificates have been issued for 289 steamers, 82 oilengine vessels, ami IT intercolonial sailing-vessels. In future all oil-launches and all sailingvessels over ."> tons register engaged in the coastal trade will have to be surveyed annually, as this is made compulsory by the Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act. 1909. These surveys will considerably increase tin , work of the Surveyors. Arrangements have been made with the United Stales and Canada under which New Zealand recognizes passenger or survey certificates issued in those countries, ami they recognize our certificates. The following limns have been defined to be river and extended river limits for steamers: Nelson : Itiver limits to be the waters of the harbour inside the Boulder Hank. Lyttelton : Extended river limits for fishing-boats to be between STotunau Island and Akaroa. The Life-saving Appliances Liules have been amended in regard to the equipments for Collapsible and other boats and life-rafts; as to the mode of stowing boats on passenger and emigrant ships when they carry eight or more boats; providing that chocolate which forms part of the provisions for boats must contain not less than 15 per cent, of cocoa-mass, and not less than 35 per cent, of cane svgar —the other ~2i) per cent, can be arrowroot or other substance. The brigantine "Eliza Firth' , was found to be unseaworthy at Kaipara, and was detained until the necessary repairs were executed. Prosecutions were instituted by the Department in the following cases: The master of the s.s. " Wlaikana," for carrying too many passengers. He was lined £1 and costs. The master of the oil-launch " Malieno," for carrying too main' passengers. lie was lined £1 and costs. T. I , '. Hartley, .1. Ilancy, and John Teihi. for carrying too many passengers in their licensed boats in Hokianga Barbour They were each lined Is. and costs. I. Blundell was lined 10s. and costs For a similar offence. The master of the scow " Bauturu," for going to sea without the life-belts required by the regulations. A tine of £"> ami costs was imposed. Deri; Cargo. —The duty of issuing licenses for the carriage of deck cargo Las, b\ the Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act, 1!)()9, been transferred from Collectors of Customs to Superintendents of Mercantile Marine. In order to prevent vessels carrying more cargo on deck than allowed by their licenses, arrangements have been made for them to be inspected before sailing. Ihe performance of this duty has necessitated the appointmeni of another Surveyor at Auckland. owing to the large number of vessels that have to be inspected at that port. The appointment has been conferred upon Captain C. M. Renaut. The regulations governing the carriage of deck cargo have been consolidated and amended so as to bring them up to date. Deceased Seamen's Estates. —Moneys belonging to the estates of twentj -two seamen, amounting to £135 IDs., have been received .Inline- the year, and the sum of £136 <)s. Bd. has been paid to relatives and other claimants. The sun: of tI (J Bs. 'id., which has remained unclaimed for over six years, has been paid into the Public Account. Wrecks and Casualties. —Tables showing the casualties to ships and an analysis thereof are appended. Those on or near the coasts of the Dominion i,umbered 7(i. representing 29,063 tons register, as compared with 83, of 4T,S-"i7 tons register, iv the previous year. The total wrecks within the Dominion were •>, of 1,110 tons register, as compared with 11, of 4,517 tons register. in the previous year. The number of lives lost was 7. as compared with in the previous year. Of the lives lost. •'! were from the " Jessie Niccol." wrecked at Macquarie Island, one from the " G-lenshee," outside New Zealand, and one each from the s.s. " Warrimoo," s.s. " Rarawa," and s.s. " Maori.' in the three cases last mentioned the persons who lost tneir lives were passengers who disappeared during the voyage. Appended is a wreck chart showing where the casualties occurred. Coaxial Dangers. Captain Bollons, of the s.s. " Binemoa," discovered and surveyed an uncharted rock three-quarters of a mile south-west of Parrot Island, Dusky Sound. He also surveyed a shoal near Ihe entrance to Paterson's Inlet, a rocky patch off the Cheviot Coast, and a rock off Evening Island. Stewart Island. Notices to Mariners giving the result of these surveys were published, and the Bydrographer to the Admiralty was notified, in order that the dangers may be shown on the charts. The Department has long been impressed with the necessity for having more soundings shown on the charts to the westward of the Three Kings and between those islands ami Cape Maria van Dieiuen, to the west of the Solanders. and to the western approach of Koveaux Strait, but hitherto it has been impossible to arrange for them to be taken. Arrangements have now, however, been made for the Antarctic vessel "Terra Nova' , to take the necessary soundings off the Three Cingl and between there and Cape Maria van Dieiuen while she is in the Dominion during the winter and spring, and. should time allow, the vessel will also take soundings in the vicinity of the Solanders and between Cape Campbell and Motunau Island.

.\ communication was received from the V 7 ice-Admiral iji command of the Australian Station stating that the position of the Three Kings was wrongly charted, and thai the position of the South Point, Great Island, as ascertained by sight* from 11. M.5. "Cambrian" was latitude 34° II 18" S.. longitude 172° 7' 24" E., and the relative bearing From Cape Reinga of South Point. Great Island. X. (in 0 \V. true ■'!I miles. Ihe oharted position is latitude 34° 9' S.. longitude 1720 g' g" c., and the bearing from Cape Iteinga N. W. 31 - 8 miles. A further communication has been recently received from the Nice-Admiral stating that the "Cambrian lias taken further observations from mi shore in order to check with greater accuracy the position of the islands, and that the result of tiiese observations places the position of the depot on Great Island, the place of observation, as latitude 34° 9' II" S., and longitude 172° 0' J" E. 'Ihis places Great Island about one mile and a quarter south and a third of a mile east of the present charted position. The coastal buoys anil beacons have been overhauled and painted, the work being done by the " Hinemoa " in tin , course of her periodical trips round the Dominion. Nautical Publications.—The Nautical Almanac for 1911, winch is prepared by Captain Blackburne, Nautical Adviser to the Department, was issued in November last. and. as in former years, it found a ready sale. Copies of Ihe Azimuth Reduction Tables and Azimuth Chart books, published by the . Department, were supplied to the "Terra Nova " before she sailed for the Antarctic with the exploring expedition. Arrangements have been made for Messrs. .1. lirown and Son. of Glasgow, publishers of the well-known Nautical Almanac, to be the sole air-nts in Great Britain for the sale of the Azimuth Tables issued by the Department. Appended is a return of the Notices id Manners regarding the Dominion which have been issued by the Department during the year. Besides these a great many notices concerning matters outside New Zealand are published lor the information of mariners. Meteorological and Weather Office. —Daily weather-forecasts are telegraphed to LOS places, and 111 places receive occasional forecasts of storms. Arrangements are also made tor sending special warnings from time to time to persons requiring them lor particular purposes, the recipients paying the cost of transmission. Rotorua has been added to the list of places receiving regular forecasts, and requests for such forecasts have been made b\ several other places, but owing to want of funds they could not be acceded to. The Meteorological Office has collated all the rainfall returns available so far as is known from the earliest days until the end of 1909, and from the means obtained constructed approximate mean annual and monthly rainfall maps for the Dominion. I hese are now almost ready for the printer, as also are the collected returns for 1910, and a rainfall map for the same year. The monthly rainfall and climatological statistics are published regularly in the Government Gazette, and reports on weather and agriculture are supplied by arrangement to the Agricultural Department for publication in the Agricultural Journal each month. The annual statistics are published in connection with the Registrar-General's Department in the blue-book and in the ( itlicial Veai I k. During the past year there has been a slight extension of the nmk of the office ill securing more rainfall stations. This is a very important matter on account of close)- settlement and the advent of liydro-electric power schemes. The visit of the British Antarctic Expedition impressed upon Australasian meteorologists the importance of meteorological observatories and the standardization of the instruments; inspec tion of all the chief stations and establishment of others were urged upon the Government. Sums i.i money were placed upon the supplementary estimates for these purposes, but the time between which the liione\ was available and Ihe end of the financial veal", as well as the sinallness of the staff, did not allow its proper expenditure, anil these projects are still incomplete. Through stress of weather the Antarctic vessel "Terra Nova " was unable to establish a station at Camp bell Island, for which instruments were provided, Inn the station at Chatham Islands has been reorganized under Mr. I , '. A. 1). Cos since the death of Mr. A. Shand, who perished in a tire wherein some instruments and records of the office were also lost. Mr. Shand for many years had done most valuable work al the Chathams as a meteorological observer. In the lattei end of February Mr. D. C. Hates. Director of the Meteorological Office, inspected Several of the chief stations and weather-repoi t ing observatories around the South Island. His visit showed the need of new and reliable instruments .it many stations '..'/.. at both Christchurch and Dunedin, where aneroid barometers were in use for weather reporting purposes, and al several places the therniometers were quite unreliable. At Dunedin a new observatory as well as a new set of instruments are urgently required. The meteorological observatory has been in charge of Mr. If. Ske\ eince 1870. It was established first in Dunedin. but the City Council resumed the land, ami Mr. Skey had to remove the instruments to his oWlt private residence al Woodhaugh. This action of the City Council was very detrimental, above all to their own interests. Meteorological observations are of great importance to the city, and in England arc the especial care of ihe civic authorities. The Auckland City Council have provided a suitable site in Albert Park, ami the Govern nietit last year fenced it in anil provided the instruments ami observer. \l Wellington the City Council proposes to lease at a small rental a site for an observatory on the Town Belt at the top of Constable Street. Though not central or well adapted for meteorological purposes, it is believed to be the best site available, and superior to the temporary observatory on Mount Conk. near the Alexandra Barracks. It is hoped that the new observatory will soon be equipped with a set of instruments by which automatic and continuous records may be taken of the chief meteorological elements —wind direction and force, rate and duration of rainfall. &o. The observatory will then be raised from a station of the second to one of the first order. i

In the new year it is intended t<> renew the eecond-class station at Hokitika, &c, and to establish Uigh-level stations at Mount Egmont and the Bealey. In September, L9lO, Mr. H. V. Peniberton, F.R.Met.Soc, was transferred From the Magnetic Observatory at Christchurch, where he had for several years attended to the meteorological obser vations, to the Meteorological Office, lie has given much satisfaction as Assistant Meteorologist. both in genera] meteorological work and weather-forecast. Mr. W. \\ . Goudie, typist and staiisi ical clerk, has attained lank as a permanent Civil servant through five years' service in the ( tovernment. In the work of the Weather Bureau which is attached to the Meteorological Office a new code lias been m constant use. and proved very beneficial. It will shortly be amended and extended. A code address of " Weather. Wellington." for all inward messages to the office has In in adopted. Important concessions have been made by the Telegraph Department in Regulation Id: " Masters of vessels are permitted to forward messages at one uniform rate of (i<l. lor each message (including reply) to the Harbourmasters of the several ports, or to " Weather, Wei lington," seeking information as to the state of the weather, ivc. at the port to which they are bound, or From any port which may lie in their route. These telegrams must be concise, and should be tilled in in accordance with the directions to be seen at the telegraph-offices. In no rase will a larger nnnibei of words than twelve be allowed m the body of the message. At any station where the telegraphic report giving the stati of the weather in different parts of the Dominion is exhibited, a peison so desiring will lie supplied with a copy daily, except Sunday, at a charge of £1 per annum." For purposes of expedition the weather-reporting stations have iieeii divided into two sections, one for the North Island and another for the South. This with a slight curtailment in the number of the less important stations enables the Meteorological Office and the telegraph-offices to publish the weather report throughout the Dominion much earlier than was formerly the case. Every morning forty live stations report the wind direction and forces, barometric pressure, temperature, weather, tide, &c. These reports, when edited, are transmitted and published in all the chief centres of the Dominion. <>n these reports arc based the daily forecasts which are telegraphed In over a hundred stations every morning. Occasional warnings are also sent of storms affecting different parts, especially of the Mackenzie country. Special forecasts of siorms. Hoods, &c, are also sometimes issued, ami. by favour of the Secretary of the Post Office, are sent to every office in the parts affected. In the evening reports are received from twenty-three stations. These reports are supplied to the Press Association, and by it transmitted to the chief centres of the Dominion. Government Steamers. The " Hi nemo a " has continued to carry out the work of attending to the lighthouses and tin.' buoys and beacons in the harbours under the control of the Department, and has performed the work in a very satisfactory manner. ('wing to the increasing work on tiie coast she has been relieved of the duty of visiting the Keiniadees ami the southern islands to examine the provision depots and search for castaways, this work being now done by the training-ship ".Amokura." In order that a more suitable vessel might be obtained it was decided to oiler the " Iliiiemoa " for sale. This was done, but in. suitable offers were received. Engine-room and boiler repairs have since been executed, and. considering her age, the vessel is now in good condition. The " Tutaliekai " has carried out repairs lo the telegraph-Cables, having been employed On the Cook Strait cables from the Ist to the 22nd April. 1910, from the Ist to the 28th February. 1911, and on the East (Jape cable from the 6th May to the 4th June. During the remainder of the year she had been laid up in Wellington Harbour. During last winter the training-ship "Amokura " was moored in Wellington Harbour, unci during that time the boys underwent the courses of training on board which are carried out whilst the vessel is in port, and also attended classes at the Technical School. The subjects in which they were instructed at the school were specially selected as being of value to them in their seafaring careers. The vessel made her Hist cruise of the summer in Cook Strait to enable the boys to become accustomed to the sea, and during this cruise she visited Queen Charlotte Sound and Kapiti Island. Shortly after her return from this trip she made a voyage to the Southern Islands to examine the depots'for castaways which are maintained on the Snares. Auckland. Campbell. Antipodes, am! Bounty Islands. On her way south she called at Akaroa. 'liiuaru. OtagO Harbour, tin- Bluff, and Stewart Island, and on her way back she visited OtagO Harbour, the Bluff, I , reservation Inlet, and Dusky. Milford, and Queen Charlotte Sounds. After the midsummer holidays she proceeded to Auckland, and from there to the kcrniadcc Islands to examine the depots for castaways, returning to Wellington via Auckland. Tutukaka. and (Ireat Harrier Islam. Whilst the ship was at Auckland an outbreak of scarlatina occurred ai gst ill' boys, which necessitated the ship being taken to Motuihi Island and the crew being landed so that she might lie fumigated. This occupied a month, and made it too late ill the season to make another trip to the southern islands before winter. Six boys were affected by the illness, and they were sent to the Auckland Hospital, as. the ship being small and having no medical officer, tl utbieak could iml be coped with otherwise. The commander reports that the boys have conducted themselves well during the voar. and have proved that they are capable of becoming good seamen. All the steering of the ship has been done by the boys since her first cruise as a training-ship. The smallness of the ship is a drawback. Attached is a return showing the boys who have passed through the ship and those still on board. Ltffhfhovxes. — V T otes were taken last session for the erection of two new lighthouses on the east coast of the North Island, and it has been decided to erect one at Castlepoini and the other
H.—id

on the Chickens. A very suitable site, at a height of 104 ft. above sea-level, has been selected at Castlepoint, the necessary lantern and apparatus bave been ordered from England, and the work of erecting the buildings required will shortly be put in hand. The light will be a second-order group flash light, Hashing every forty-five seconds with eighi seconds darkness between each Hash, and will be visible for a distance of twenty-one miles, or as far as l.'riti Point on the south and to within about ten miles of Cape Turnagain on the north. It is proposed to bave a signalstation at this lighthouse, and provision is therefore being made for three keepers, so that one man may always be on watch for vessels during the daytime. Many shipmasters were of opinion that the light should be erected at Flat Point, but it was found on making a oareful examination of the place that it was not suitable, as the ground is too low, and there are outlying dangers at the back of which the light would have had to be placed. A suitable site for a light has hem selected i>u the Chickens at a height of about 400 ft., and it is proposed to ereci an automatic acetone acetylene light-that is. a light which will not require keepers to look alter it. The gas-supplies will lie replenished by the " Einemoa " when making her periodical visits to lighthouses in the ih. The light will be visible all round the horizon, except where obscured to the westward by the Chicken Island, over an are of 33°, and it will also be invisible south of the Hen over an are of ■27°, but will lie visible from well inside Cape Rodnej righi round by north-east to well southward of Whangarei Heads, and should prove to be a good coasting light for vessels trading up and down the coast. The necessarj apparatus for eighi incandescent lights lias been procured from England; one of them iias been installed at Cape Campbell, and the others will he installed at East Cape, Portland Island, Cape Palliser, Cape Elgmontj Akaroa Head, Cape Saunders, and Waipapapa Point. I recommend that provision lie made in this year's estimates for some more of these lights, as they give a much better light than the ordinary oil light on a smaller consumption of oil. They also burn the ordinary kerosene, which is a cheaper oil than paraffin-oil, which is used in the ordinary oil-lights. Captain Bollons, of the s.s. "1 1 i neiiioa.'' has continued to inspect the lighthouses when the vessel made her periodical visits, ami I have paid visits of inspection to Cuvier Island. Bean Hock. Ponui Passage. Tirttiii. Mokohinou, Cape Brett, Manukau Head. Cape Egmont, Penoarrow Head. Godley Head. Akaroa Head. Moeraki, Taiaroa Head, Cape Saunders, Nugget Point. Waipapapa Point, Dog Island. Centre Island. Puysegur Point. Cape Foulwind, Kahurangi Point, Farewell Spit, and the Brothers. Fresh contracts have been let for carrying the mail to and from Farewell Spit and Mokohinou Lighthouses. 'I he following works have been executed at lighthouses: Cape Maria van Diemen : The landing-block has been repaired, a new wire tramwaj and hauling-wire have been placed across from the mainland to the island, and new rings and rollers have been put in the machine. MokohillOU : New wash-houses have been elected. Cuvier Islam): Screens have been erected at the fog signal, and repairs done to the light- ;: pparat us. East Cape: Repairs have been executed to the tramway. Pencarrow Head : The reserve has been cleared of scrub. Cape Egmont : Wash-houses have been erected ami fence renewed. Cape Campbell : Incandescent light has been installed. Godley Head : Portion of the track to fog-signal has been timbered over. Nugget Point. .New ventilation-cowl has been lilted, oil-store repaired, ami in made up to hemses of two keepers. This road, which was a heavy piece of work, was made by the keepers themselves, and reflects great credit on them. Two principal keepers died during the year, one principal keeper retired on superannuation, four assistant keepers resigned, and the appointment of one probationary keeper was not conSrmed. Three assistant keepers were promoted to the position of principal, and eight newassistant keepers were appointed. The amount of light dues collected was £3(5,749 3s. 9d., as compared with E34,39S Lbs. on , . ■ luring the previous year. . Fog-signals. The explosive fog-signals at Pencarrow Head. Godley Bead, Laiaroa Head. am! Cuvier Island have been maintained in good condition, ami have been of considerable value to ships during fogs. A similar signal has been erected at Patiii Point, Timaru. This has been provided and erected by the Department, hut it will he maintained by the Timaru Harbour Hoard. It is proposed to procure a fog-signal for Cape Brett. Harbours. -The s.s. " Einemoa " has carried out the work of overhauling, cleaning, and painting the buoys and beacons in the harbours under the control of (he Department. The erec tion of beacons ai the entrance to Whangaparapara Harbour has been completed, and a light has been placed on one of them, which is of considerable value to ships visiting the port, where there is a large timber trade. Arrangements have hem made with a person who lives near the light to attend to it for a small payment. Owing to the shoaling of the 5-fathom channel of the Wairoa liiver. Kaipara. the buoys have been removed iron, it, and the inside channel has been buoyed so that it may be used by vessels. ■| | 1( , beach at the Blowhole, Manukau Harbour, which was composed of sand, disappeared on ,]„. ||)t|, M;,.. last, and the harbour launch, which was anchored off the beach, sank, but was after wards raised. The beach is now making up again. Ai the s c lime very heavy rain did con siderable damage to the road between the landing ami the top of the hill. Telephonic communication has been established between the Harbourmaster's office at Onehunga and the signal-station at the Heads.

Floating legs broke off tlie beacon in the Tairua River. It has since been re-erected. An additional room has been built on to the Harbourmaster's bouae at Okarito, and a tender lias been accepted for the erection of a boatman's house at Bokianga. The Harbourmaster's house at Karamea has had to be moved to a new site owing to the encroachment of the river, and 3 acres of land for a site have been taken under the Public Works and Harbours Acts. A half-yearly pori charge of Ad. a ton on vessels over -" tons register has been fixed at Picton. The removal of sunken logs from Kaipara Harbour has improved the navigation of the har hour considerably. There is a large number of such logs in Eokianga Harbour which require removal, and tenders for doing this were invited during the pear. No suitable tenders -weir, however, received, and consequently all were declined. The Harbourmaster has been instructed to make a careful estimate of the number that should be removed, with the view of inviting fresh tenders. The owners of the logs which can be identified will be required to pay the cost of removal, and those without marks which are marketable will be sold and the remainder will he burnt. In older to improve the navigation of Tory Channel and Queen Charlotte Sound at night the Wigham light, which was formerly on the beacon at Jackson's Head, lias been erected on Dieflenbach Point at the junction of the Channel and the Sound, but it has not proved satisfactory. as it has gone out on several occasions. I; has therefore been decided to install an acetone acetylene light in its place, and arrangements are now being made to do this. For some time past there has been a good deal of trouble in connection with persons taking stone, shingle, and sand from the foreshores owing to tlie damage which the removal caused to the adjacent land. In order that the matter might be regulated, provision was made in the Harliours Amendment Act. 1910. that every person shall be liable to a fine not exceeding .£2O who removes such material without the authority of the Minister of Marine in the case of foreshore vested in the Crown, or of a Harbour Board or local authority in the case of foreshore vested in the Board or authority. A large number of applications for the necessary authority have been received from persons to take shingle and sand from places in the flauraki Gulf, and these are now being dealt with. In cases where permission is granted a royalty at such a rate as may lie deemed reasonable will be charged. An Act having been passed to merge the Otago Dock Trust into the Otago Harbour Board, the necessary Order in Council providing for the merging to take place on (lie 21st May, 1910. was issued. A by-law which was made by tlie Auckland Harbour Board in regard to ferry-boats was disallowed by the Governor, as it provided for mattes which are dealt witli by this Department under the Shipping and Seamen Act. and therefore affected certificates issued by the Department. Prosecutiona were instituted by the Department in connection with harbours as follows, viz.: Five boatmen at Tauranga, for obstructing vessels' berths at the wharf ami refusing to move when ordered by the Harbourmaster to do so: a line of 10s. and costs was imposed on each person. For keeping a launch moored at the Collingwood wharf after being ordered by the Harbourmaster to remove it: the case was dismissed on the ground that proper notice of removal had not been given. Against the Auckland Harbour Board, for constructing harbour-works without first getting the plans approved by the Governor in Council : a fine of £5 and costs was imposed. The sum of £1,860 has been collected for pilotage and port charges at ports under the control of tin's Department, as compared with £1,2G2 13s. ."id. during the previous year. A return of harbour-works approved by the Governor in Council, and of the licenses issued for the occupation of foreshore as sites for wharves and other works, is appended. Fisheries. —The oyster beds in the north were kept closed during last season, as there were not suflicient marketable oysters on them to justify picking. Those in the Hauraki Gulf and the May of Islands have, however, been opened this season, ami it is estimated that between four and live thousand sacks will be available. There is a ready sale for them at 12s. 6d. a sack. Last year the Departmeni planted oysters on some of tjio beds in the Hauraki Gulf which became depleted when the beds were open for picking by licensed pickers before the Department tools over the picking, and it would be advisable to continue tlie planting so as to increase tlie supply, as all the indications are that the supply will have to lie increased if the demand for oysters is to be met. The leases of oyster-bods in Manukau Harbour which were granted to Messrs. T. Sharp and G. J. Sim have been cancelled for non-payment of rent. The following is the report of Mr. L. F. Arson. Thief Inspector of Fisheries, on the industry during the year : — " Tn the Wellington District there has been a shortage of fish, and on the whole the market has not been fully supplied throughout the year, 'lln's condition has been principally due to the short supplies obtained from the Hawke's Bay trawling-grounds. The catches from these grounds have been exceptionally poor, ami while this was no doubt partly due to the 'slime' which made its appearance in the bay in the beginning of November, vet it has to be admitted that during the last few years the supply of fish has been decreasing, and it comes to be a <|iiestion whether these grounds are not getting worked out by the continual trawling which has been practised there for so many years. The supply of flatfish from the local fishing-grounds has been so poor that a number of the retail dealers have had to get supplies from the Thames. The fish are chilled before packing, and then packed in ice. and. excepting in very hot weather, they arrive

af Wellington in good condition. The run of warehou has been very g 1 this season, and some very large hauls have been made by the local fishermen. Daring the pear tw<> firms have established fishing-stations at the Chatham Islands, where thej have erected freezing-works. Several shipments i>! , fish, principally blue cud. have Ween broughi t<. Wellington, where pari of ii was sold in some "i , the retail fish-dealers ami die balance was shipped to Sydney, where there is a large demand for blue-end. The fish brought up was in splendid condition, and was well cleaned and nicely packed. "In Canterbury the supply of lisii for the current year compares favourably with thai of previous years. There are now four trawlers working from Lyttelton, and this has had the effect of ensuring a more regular supply as well as a better variety of fish. The hapuka fishinggrounds oft Tiniaru continue to yield a large supply of these fish. With better transport facilities tii the Dm,. din. Christohurch, and Wellington markets there is m> doubt that a very Large and regular supply would be obtained from these grounds. "In the Otago District the information in hand is to the effect that except in the winter months the supply of iish has been equal to the market requirements. Tl»re has been no exceptional increase or decrease in the quantity of any of tiie market lishes, and there has been no material change in the number of vessels and men employed in tiie industry. "At [nvercargill and Bluff, hapuka. moki, ami trevalli are reported as being plentiful during the year. The demand for blue-cod has beet; in excess of the supply. The more accessible fishing-grounds are not now yielding anything like the supplj they did formerly, and fishermen have to go much greater distances from shore, ami they are thus more liable to loss of time owing to bad weather when on the grounds, and also much longer in getting their fish to market. The Customs officer at tiie Bluff reports an increase in the export trade for oysters. In the early part of the season large quantities sent to Christchuroh, Wellington, and Melbourne arrived at their destinations in bad condition and had to be destroyed. 'Ihis was due to the warm weather and to the oysters not having made up condition after spawning. Complaints with regard to the watery and poor condition of oysters in the early part of the season have come under my notice on previous occasions, and 1 think it is advisable that the season should open on the Ist March instead, of the Ist February, and be extended to the middle or end of October. If this is done one of the hottest months of the year would be excluded from the open season, and the oysters would have a month longer to recover after spawning. "In the Auckland District the Inspectors report fish as being plentiful and the market fully supplied during the year. The supply of mullet is reported to be improving each year, and Inspector Bennett is of the opinion that this is due in the llauiaki Gulf to the close season for these fish which is now in force there. It is pleasing to noie that in the Thames and Auckland districts flounders have been plentiful during the year, and besides supplying the local markets large quantities have been sent to Wellington and towns on the West Coast. Last season it was considered advisable to give the oyster-beds in the Auckland District and Bay of Islands a rest for a season, and they were therefore kept closed. This was necessary because of the comparatively small area fit to pick when the Department took over tin picking in 1908; the beds depleted by licensed pickers previous to that had not recovered sufficiently to be picked. The beds in the Hauraki Gulf, Great Barrier, Hay of Islands, and Kaipara are now well stocked with young oysters, and in a year or two this large extent of beds will be in condition to be picked, and should supply, sufficient oysters for market requirements. There is a very large and increasing demand for rock oysters, ami to meet this it is necessary that the beds should be very strictly protected; and I would also recommend replanting depleted areas, and planting new beds wherever the foreshore is suitable on an extensive scale, either by the Department or by teasing the foreshore for oyster-cultivation to private persons, as is done in New South Wales. " During the year there has been considerable development in the whaling industry. Messrs. Jagger and Cook have brought out a modern whaling-steamer, and although it was late in the season before all the fittings arrived yet the\ were able to get more whales at Whangamuinu than in any previous season. This linn lias now extended their operations to the Campbell Islands, where the\- have established a station for right-whaling. llehberley and party, who have been right-whaling at the Campbell Islands for the last two seasons, are reported to have had a very successful season. "A phenomenal run of whitebait occurred in the Hokitika River last season. The two Canning-factories were unable to take the supplies- I hat were brought in. The fishermen state that it is the best season they have known in fifteen years. A fair run is reported from other rivers, both in the South and North Islands. In the Canterbury Rivers, owing to snow-water coming down, the lish were rather scarce in the early part of the season, but later on good catches were made, ami (lie fishermen were well satisfied with their season's catches "With regard to the development of the fishing industry ami providing a more plentiful and regular supply of fish for the people of this country, , ] am convinced that better marketing and transport facilities by rail to the different mallets and to the inland towns would result in a very large increase in the quantity of lish sent from the various fishing-grounds. Reports from the Inspectors of Fisheries show that there is a great deal of dissatisfaction in connection with forwarding fish by rail at present, and I would ash that the matter hi' brought before the Railway Department with a view to try and meet the requirements of the fish trade. The establishment of public lish-markets in the principal towns would no doubt help the industry, and also be the means of enabling the public to get a better and cheaper supply of fish The matter was brought under the notice of the municipalities at Auckland. Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin by the Department in October. 1908, but so far no markets have been established. Improved means of transporting fish by railway are also much required.

H.—ls
Amendments of the Fisherj Regulations liave been made to prevent the use of hurdles to divert the course of whitebait when going up rivers: to permit the use of hand whitebait-nets with an opening of 9 square feet, and to allow them to be made of any shape; to allow trawling at the entrance to Kaipara Barbour up to a line drawn from the flagstaff at Pouto to the South Head; us to netting in the New River Estuary; to enable trout taken, .smoked, and branded by the Tourist Department to be sold in the Dominion; and for defining the manner in whioh the tonnage of fishing-boats is to be ascertained. 'ihe Natives along the East Coast between Tokomaru Bay and Sioks Hay complained that trawlers were working on their fishing-grounds, and asked that this should be prohibited; but the request was not acceded to, as inquiry showed that there was very little, if any. interference witli their grounds. Sergeants .1. C. S. Willis, of Palmerston North, and .1. Dougan, of Port Chalmers, and Constables C. S. Le l-'evre. of Port Ahuriri, E. Driscoll, of Helensville, .1. Horan, of Whangarei, \V. Berry, of Thames. \V. Richardson, of Lyttelton, and 11. Scott, of Chatham Islands, have been appointed Inspectors of Fisheries. Seals. —The close season for seals has been extended until the 30th June, 1912. Returns showing the number of registered fishing-boats at the various ports, and the prosecutions for breaches of the Fisheries Act during the year, are appended. Portobetto Marine Fish-hatchery.—A report by the curator on this hatchery is attached. During the year the Department made a grant of £330 for maintenance. £50 for rent, repairs, ami stores, and £250 for enlarging the ponds. Salmon. — During the year another million Atlantic-salmon ova were ordered from Great Britain, and arrangements were made by the High Commissioner to obtain them from the River Wye; but, owing to floods, only 400,000 could be got from that river, and b'oo,ooo had to be obtained from Germany. They came out in the s.s. " Rualiine," in charge of Mr. ('. 1.. Ayson, manager of the salmon-station at Hakataramea, who went to England for the purpose. A special cool-chamber was provided on the vessel, which proved very satisfactory. The chamber was kept at a temperature of 34°, while an average temperature of :!.'!° inside the eases was maintained during the voyage. The loss on the German (Rhine) ova from the time they were received until they reached Wellington was 41,334, and on the English ova 11,982. This result must be considered very satisfactory, especially when it is borne in mind that some of the ova had been in the packing-trays for eighty-three days. The loss with the Rhine ova would have been much smaller had not three trays been completely lost owing to tin- ova being too far developed when packed. On the " Ruahine's " arrival at Wellington Mr. Ayson. Chief Inspector of Fisheries, took the ova to Lake Te Anau for hatching-out there. As the Rhine ova were nearest hatching they were unpacked first, and were found to be in very good condition : 4.250 were found to be dead, and 5,250 dead ones were picked out of the hatching-baskets later on. The packing of these Rhine ova was very rough, and Mr. Ayson considers it is wonderful that they reached Xcw Zealand with such a small percentage of loss. The English ova unpacked in perfect condition. In the unpacking and first picking-over next morning only 175 dead ones were taken out. They were very nicely packed, and the material used was the very best that could be otained. All the young fish have been liberated in the lake. The collection of quinnat-salmon ova last season was not so satisfactory as in the previous season, which was principally owing to the low state of the spawning-rivers which flow into the Waitaki, caused by a very dry summer; however. 210,000 were obtained, and of this number 150,000 were sent to the hatchery at Kokotahi, We.stland : 145,000 fry hatched from these 150,000 ova, and they were liberated in streams flowing into Ihe ITokitika River, 70,000 being put into Harris Creek, 50,000 into Murray's Creek, and 25,000 into Duck Creek. Of the remainder of the ova, 25,000 were sent to Tasmania, where an attempt is being made to acclimatize the fish, the fry from 3,000 were liberated in the Seaforth-Mackenzie River, and the fry from 32,000 were reared at the station at Hakataramea for liberation in the river there. During the collection of the ova Chief Inspector Ayson, who was in charge of the collection, received valuable assistance from Mr. James Sutherland, manager of Benmore Si at ion, who supplied him with a horse and personally assisted him in making an inspection of the Ohau River, ami supplied all the willow stakes required free of cost, and carted them, with Mr. Ayson's tools, across the Ohau River, a distance of twelve miles. Mr. Preston, owner of Halden Station, ami Mr. Grant, of Cray's Hill Station, also gave Mr. Ayson valuable assistance during the two seasons he was collecting ova by allowing him to camp in the shepherd's huts, to take firewood, and to use tools, A-c. The thanks of the Department are due to these gentlemen. It is anticipated that a large number of ova will be obtained this season, most of which will go to the Kokotahi Hatchery. A further 25.000 will be sent to Tasmania, as the Government of that State has asked the Department to supply that number each year until the order is counter manded. Last season two of the fish which were taken in the Twizel River, a tributary of the Ohau, were sent to Mr. E. R. Waite, Curator of the Canterbury Museum, for the purpose of identification, .and in his report he states that they are quinnat salmon (Oneorhynchus tschawytscha), and that they were in full breeding condition, but, owing doubtless to the circumstance that our rivers ate so much shorter, they did not exhibit that emaciated condition so characteristic of the same species breeding in the rivers of Pacific North America. During the year the following fish were liberated from the Hakataramea ponds: Quinnat s,,l m on 126 three years old, 821 two years old, 23,854 one year old. and 22,700 fry from the season's ova ; Atlantic salmon — 10,274 cine and half years old. After the liberation of those men tioned above, 8.550 quinnat and 550 Atlantic fish remained in the ponds.

Trout.- Last season the Department collected 945,000 brown Iroiii ovn for acclimatization societies thai asked for them, and supplied them ai a charge of ."is. n thousand, h also collected and supplied 35,000 of the same ova to the Transvaal Government. Arrangements are being made to colled ova during the coming season on the same terms. Lasi year 100,000 rainbow trou< ova were supplied to the Queensland Government. These were collected hi the Touriel Division of the Departmeni of Agriculture, and packed and shipped by this Departmeni I hare. Ac. The Hon. the Minister of Marine, Wellington.

The Principal Examiner of Mastebs and Maths to the Secretary, Marine Department. Office of the Principal Examiner of Masters and Mates, Sin, — Customhouse, Wellington, LOtfa May, 191] I have the honour to submit my annual report on the examination of masters and mates in New Zealand. The work, as usual, has been carried out by the Examiners at the four principal ports in a satisfactory manner. I visited the Auckland and Lyttelton examination rooms during the year, and found everything in very satisfactory order. Notwithstanding tlie marked decrease in the Dumber of candidates for foreign-going and home-trade certificates reported last year, due t<. the increased requirements of candidates in having to possess a knowledge of lirst aid to the injured, and some knowledge of the .Morse and semaphore signalling, the increase in the last twelve months has been comparatively small viz.. only 26 per cent.; and this increase is due almost entirely k> examinations in Auckland, where during the last few years the majority of the examinations have been held. The number of examinations for river-steamers and fishing-boats is practically the same as last year. By the Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act. 1909, lishing boats up to 111 tons register are now exempted from the obligation to carry a certificated officer in charge of the vessel. The Examiners as a rule have reported very favourablj on the candidates' proficiency in the Morse and semaphore signalling, which is generally in advance of the actual requirement of the ordinary examination. Only one candidate (Mr. Frank S. Horn) passed Cor extra master during tiie year. By the new regulations which came into force on the Ist October, 1010. this examination is more difficult than ever, and unless a candidate is a quick worker, as well as accurate, lie is quite likely to fail for time. The construction of a plan or chari on Mercator's principle, as now given, requires v deal of thinking out and neat handiness, and the compass ami hearings. 4c, must all be plotted without the aid of a protractor. It needs a deal of cue and patience. The additional work for the ordinary examinations, which came into force in September of last year, was mentioned in my last report. It is not likely to cause anxiety or much extra labour to intending candidates. A few candidates have already voluntarily passed the higher Standard of form-vision, which will come into force for all candidates when passing their lirst examination after the Ist January, 1914. Boys, or parents intending to send their boys to sea. should note that unless they are in possession of a, certificate of competency by Ist January, 101 t. they will after that date be required to pass the new standard of form-vision as laid down in Appendix A of the regulations, whether they are coming up for a certificate of competency or for examination in sight-test only. In this examination the candidate will be tested with each eye separately, and he must not be allowed to use spectacles or glasses of any kind. 1 have, 4c, Harold S. Blackbourne, Principal Examiner of Masters and Mates.
The Curator, Portobello Marine Fish-hatchery, to the Secretary, Marine Department. Marine Fish-hatchery and Biological Station, Sib,— . Portobello, Dunedin, 13th May. 1011. I have the honour to present the following (the tilth) annual report of operations at the Marine Fish-hatchery, from the publication of the last report (30th April, 1010) to the present date. Reports of previous years' operations will be found in the " Transactions of the New Zealand Institute." Vole. 38 and 39, and in the New Zealand Marine Departmeni Reports for 1008-9 ami 1000-10. Lobsters. —Exact dates and particulars of casting, spawning, hatching. 4c, were given in the report for 1908-9, and it will not be necessary to go too closely into these details again, further than to state that during both this Reason and the last the dates of these events have closely corresponded with those given in that report, and the fact that nineteen out of a total of twentvone females spawned again during January. February, and March tends to support the theory of annual as against biennial reproduction.
11
H.—ls
The adult lobsters were not examined until 30th October, and ii is very probable that the '»" exceptions liad spawned early and had already hatched their brood. Of the other nineteen females, one died and was still carrying about half a Latch, ten carried complete batches, four carried half v batch, three earned aboul a quarter-batch, and one carried only n few hundred nell-advanceri eggs, and had evidently hatched a large number of larvae. The first larva' were hatched on 20th November, and between thai date and 27th December 33,000 lobster larvae were hatched from lobsters thai were transferred to the glass tanks. I have before pointed out the harmful effects of frequently handling the egg-bearing lobster, and also the enorn s loss of eggs that takes place if kepi too long in the small glass tanks (see Report 1908 9). For these i\\,^ reasons the berried lobsters were not examined until somewhat later i?i the season than usual, and only those that carried the most advanced eggs were retained in the glass tanks, the others being returned to the |)onds. the broods being allowed to hatch there and to find their way out by means of the outlet-valve, which was opened daily. It is therefore impossible to estimate the number that were actually hatched during the season. The majority of the :i:!.(iiit) were liberated in the harbour as soon as they were hatched, but towards the end of the season a great nianv were kept in the available tanks, and were liberated in the second, third, and fourth stages. Two adult males and one female have died during the year, leaving the present stuck, twenty females mid fifteen males. The eggs that became detached from the lobsters whilst in the tanks were carefully siphoned out. cleaned, and placed in Macdonald jars, and by this means a large number of eggs that had been regarded as lost in previous seasons have been successfully hatched. I am unable as yet to state definitely how many of the females have spawned again this season, but the majority of them are seen to move about the ponds with the abdomen bent under, the characteristic attitude of the berried hen. and 1 think there is every prospect of continued success. Lobster-rearimj.- \\ the time of the publication of the last report, twelve lobsterlings hail been reared to the age of live mouths, out of .■'>.()()() that were retained in the tanks for this purpose during the 1909 season. As lias ahead) been pointed out. the great and practically the only serious obstacle to the successful rearing of young lobsters is their cannibalism. During their Hist to fourth stages, a period of about twenty-two days, moulting takes place about every live days, ami at any time during this period acts of cannibalism can be witnessed. From this time onward casting becomes less frequent, and as a consequence these acts take place at longer intervals, but in the majority of cases the soft, newly n [ted lobsterling is attacked and maimed or killed by ru r more of the other occupants of the tank. Of the twelve that remained on 30th April only six survived to 7th August, and these had dwindled down to three by the time they wffc twelve months old. and of these two were in a Very dilapidated condition, having during their various moults lost their large claws and almost all their walking-limbs. These two were eaten up by the 20th February, and the sole survivor is now seventeen months old. Ft is a per feel specimen in every detail, pale blue in colour, and about 2| in. in length from lip .if rostrum to hind edge of " tail." The rearing experiment was repealed this season, but only ">(Mi larv;c were retained. Of these only one, live months old. remains. 'These and other rearing experiments necessarily take up a lot of our time. The» tanks must be cleaned out daily, refuse \'fct\ siphoned out, fresh feed supplied, &c., and with almost total failure in view from the beginning a casual observer might be tempted to term them a waste of time. Experiments that have been conducted in various marine laboratories to ascertain the rate of growth of young lobsters have proved the extreme difficulty of the problem, and no practical economic results were anticipated in the present case, bill 1 think we have been amply compensated for the expenditure in time and labour in having, at any rate, one living specimen at eighteen months, and in being now in possession of preserved specimens of the first, second, third, and fourth swimming-stages, and of preserved cast shells representing their exact size for practically everx month throughout the first eighteen months of their existence. It was never anticipated that their successful acclimatization would be brought about by rearing large numbers to % marketable size under artificial conditions, and these experiments have gone to prove that the policy initiated by the Board the first season namely, planting (he young fry as soon as hatched in the waters of the harbour and the open ocean, where they are at once in their natural surroundings—is by far the better plan, ami is the scheme that must be continued, and to which we must look for their permanent establishment. Various kinds of crabs, prawns, &c, have been sent to the station as lobsters, but as vet we have received no true specimens. The difficulty of their capture at their present age and small size renders it very improbable that any are likely to be found for some time to come. Crabs. —1 regret to report thai the stock of crabs has decreased from live at the time of the last report to two. Both of these are females. One of them spawned a full hatch of eggs in the early spring, ami hatching took place between the Gth and llth December, seme 3,500,000 fry being produced am! liberated. The last male died on 2nd January, 191 1, and it is very doubtful if either of these two females will spawn this season. Many of the crabs have died from accidents : lv,o. it will be remembered, were destroyed by an octopus, two others became caught in the valvescreen during the night, and one was injured through climbing out of one of the boxes. Xo attempt has been made at any time to rear these extremely small larva?, and some 211,11(1(1,(1(10 have been liberated to date, a large proportion Ileitis planted off shore. I would strongly rec mend that another shipment of these lie made as soon as possible, as I do not think that tin- slightest doubt need be entertained of their early establishment. Local Fishes. Every facility has been again placed at oui disposal by Mr. F. .1. .Sullivan. owner of the trawlers " Express" and " Napier." for the study of the habits of local fishes and for the collection of the eggs of local llatlishes. No charge is made for meals, pumping, fish-feed,

or for any specimens that may be required at the station. To him we are also indebted for the loan of various useful literature. The spawning season of the flatfishes continues to be well defined both as regards season and depth of water. The first eggs were collected on 21st July, and between that date and 21st August, 2,545,000 sole and brill eggs were collected. A few sole-larvae were retained in the tanks up to the tenth day, by which time the eyes had become prominent and the pectoral fins 'Acre formed, but no trace of a commencement of the metamorphosis into the flatfish was found. A little more knowledge lias been gained of the spawning of several of our most valuable idod-lishes, but until these observations have been confirmed and brought. to a definite conclusion it would be inadvisable to include them or the drawings in this year's repori . General. —The stock of books on pisciculture and kindred subjects in the library has been considerably augmented during the year. Annual reports from various marine stations come to hand regularly, and the addition of these and other pamphlets, &c, makes the library one of the most valuable and necessary adjuncts to the station. The whole of the buildings and plant have been maintained in excellent repair. The interior of the cottage has been painted and papered throughout, and slight interior alterations have been made. New piston-rings have been fitted to tin- pump engine. The old pond-valves had become wormeaten, and new ones have been lilted. Two new cog-wheels have been tilted to the slip-winch. The dinghy and launch have been regularly slipped, scrubbed, and painted. The centreboard has been taken out of the launch and a new outer keel fitted, and eight new ribs have been put in, and she is now in perfect condition ami proving most useful. The alterations to the present ponds by subdivision and deepening were commenced on Ist March. Close upon 100 yards of concrete will be required for this work. About 30 yards have already been put iii, and it is expected that the whole "i "in time will be taken up with this work for the next two or three months. When completed these alterations will permit of a much more varied stock being kepi with little or no increased annual expenditure. The smaller ponds should prove suitable for ivaring-experiments, or they could be roofed over in the event of very severe cold weather should it be found necessary to protect any introduced stock. The report of the experiments witli regard to the retardation of the development of the eggs of the herring has pome to hand. am!, although it has been found possible to retard them for from fifty to fifty-five days, the numbers that have been hatched out at the end of that period were very small, ami I would not recommend that any attempt be made to bring them out until more favourable results can be shown. I do not consider that it would be possible to transport the adult herring alive to the Dominion. Owing to the alteration of her rwite, the fish-tanks and cooling-apparatus have been removed From the s.s. " Karamea," and are at present stored in London, and in the event of further shipments of any kind being made it would be necessary to fit them up on board some other vessel coming direct to Port Chalmers. Very little outside labour has been employed throughout the year, and the general workingexpenses have been kept as low as possible. I have, &c, T. Andbrton. .
