In Malayan waters of over. 10 fathoms in depth the otter-traw] with its various modifications does not promise commercial success un- less some means can be found of stocking the net with more fish. Various reasons can be advanced in explanation of the relative failure of this net in local and indeed in tropical waters generally, Amongst them may be enumerated the differ- ence in class of fish, the fish most commonly caught by the trawl in its home waters being either few (pleuronectids) in numbers or al together absent (Cod family) in tropical waters; or fish may be much scarcer in tropical than in cold and temperate waters; or again they

Sometimes the shades of difference are very slight, but they are seen by a head walter and he rarely makes a mis- take.

Years ago the head waiter used to suggest various foreign dishes; but now all European peoples have been educated to feed as the Englishman feeds.

The Artiglio's salvage opera- tions have been carried out in ex- tremely difficult conditions at a depth of 40 fathoms and involved delicate blasting operations at a pressure never before attempted by divers.
