IN the introductory part the author states that the present report is the result of investigations commenced by him in the year 1868, into whether a wasteful destruction of the freshwater fisheries is or is not occurring in India and Burmah. He comes to the conclusion that a wasteful destruction of fish is going on to a very great extent, that these fisheries are more and more deteriorating, and that immediate legislation is called for, to prevent the entire failure of a most important article of food.
