The decoration at the hotel en- trance and precincts with coloured lights and greenery was very much impressive, particularly the large, beautiful design of a red which brightly illuminated passage up to the lift-a sign re- mindful of the proud and honour- able profession of the members In the ballroom the decoration was by no means less beautiful.
Balloons. streamers,.. confette, novelty hats and such like ac-

In spite of the occasion falling on a Friday night, almost all the members and their guests num- bering over 150 couples attend-

sense of cheerfulness and happiness, the association saw another function ran with smoothness, thanks to the valuable expenditure of energy, and hard work of the com- mittee.

BRACKISH WATER FISHING After the Vice-President and
Secretary, Mr. B. E. Sugars, had read the minutes, Dr. Herklots told the members that the more they knew about local fish the better they would enjoy their fishing. There was much brackish water Ashing at present." He then in- troduced the speaker of the even-
ILg.
Dr. Herre said that he had pro- bably been fishing for over sixty years, and had shed all over the world.
FISH FAUNA RICHEST HERE
He experienced great pleasure in re-visiting southern China, as he thought that the Asn fauna here was the, richest in the coun- try.
The fact that this country was on the boundary line of the tropics made it the more fortunate,
a people living here did not have, to worry about keeping their aquaria at certain temperatures as others had to in other climes.
The first fish, Dr. Herre thought, and the forerunner of all, came from China, probably from Can- ton, and the. fishes in this region were more prized elsewhere than here.
He visited the New Territories the day before yesterday in com- pany with Dr. Herklots and Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Sugars and brought back many specimen which were. exhibited during' the evening.
MOST PECULIAR FISH Dr. Herre said that the most pecullar ish he had ever caught was in South America. It was 2 fish that was found in northern Brazil, and centred around Buenos Alres. The Ash was very at- tenuated and about alx or seven inches long. It was shielded with and the mouth was armour.
On the underneath the body. head were a Beries of hard brushes, sometimes running out on to the checks. The whiskers were as hard as wire and remind- ed one of a part geological age.

THE 'SHRIMP FISH' The most remarkable fish in captivity, he thought, was the one called the 'shrimp fish, and it of the most singular was one fishes in the world, being slender and highly compressed. If it was covered with cellophane all over with none of the fins protruding, and then if the ventral side was pinched. one could see right though a through it. It was as window was But on the fish However, the most fantastic thing about the fish was that it stood on its head, and always moved slowly with its head down. The Büla islanders never saw the fish, In any other position, and he thoroughly believed them.
METHODS OF COLLECTING He concluded briefly on the dif- ferent methods of collecting fish. The hook and line, of course, was not used. Traps could be used, but that would be almost an im- China where the possibility in Wreaths laid on the graveside citizens helped themselves to the
