Abstract
THE report recently issued by the Development Commissioners for the year ended Mar. 31, 1927, is mainly a series of summaries of work in progress at the centres of agricultural research assisted from the Development Fund, and as such is a convenient source of reference. The part relating to fisheries is much shorter, but indicates the activity in sea and other investigations. Another useful reference is the list of publications for 1926-27: (a) relating to researches carried out at agricultural research institutes aided from the Development Fund, (6) published by advisory officers, (c) relating to researches carried out at fisheries laboratories aided from the Development Fund. These reports indicate that the Development Commission is expected to supervise a field that includes animals, plants, soils, economics, on to the welfare of the countryside, and even provision of harbours and the widening of roads.
