Abstract
THE Departmental Committee appointed by the Board of Trade, in June, 1910, has reported at considerable length on the questions submitted to it, and has, it may be hoped, brought the controversy concerning them to a conclusion. The Committee was appointed βto inquire what degree of colour-blindness or defective form vision in persons holding responsible positions at sea causes them to be incompetent to discharge their duties, and to advise whether any and, if so, what alterations are desirable in the Board of Trade sight tests at present in force for persons serving or intending to serve in the Merchant Service or in fishing vessels, or in the way in which these tests are applied.β
