"Of the nearly six hundred .kinds of fish found in our salt and fresh waters. thirty are especially important in com- merce," according to Professor J. JR_ Dymond of the Museum. "Of these,. the salmons—five Pacific and one At- lantic—are pre-eminent. Of the strict- ly marine fish, herring, cod, halibut and haddock head the list. Whitefish ranks first in value among the fresh- water kinds." "Are all of these kinds on view Se the Museum's gallery, so that the public can see the wealth of fish-life. 'Capada posses?" we ask. "The Museum has on display nom less than one hundred and sixty life- like examples of Canadian fishes,' stated Professor Dymond, Father (to young son): When Abe' Lincoln was your age, he was making his own living, Son: Yes, and when he was yoere age, he was president.
