Literary Results.

Much valuable information, regarding the Natural history of our edible marine and freshwater invertebrates, and the industries they give rise to, has been obtained during the past year, and incorporated in a report for the Fishery Division of the U.S. Census. The work of accumulating this data, from original sources mainly, has necessitated a great deal of labor, but the results have been quite satisfactory, and we are now enabled to contribute many new matters of interest, concerning our common shore species, especially the lobster, blue crab, and Southern shrimp.
