'The New Commissioner of Fisheries. Prof. G. Brown Goode, who has lately received from the President the appointment of Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries, has been for a number of years Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Prof. Goode is about thirty-six years old, having been bom in New Albany, Ind., in 1851. He received his early academic and scientific training at the Wes-

leyan University, at Middletown, Conn. After taking his degree he became attached to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, directing his attention more {•articularly to ichthyology. When the Berin Exhibition of Fish and Fisheries was held, Prof. Goode had the American department under his charge; he acquitted himself so well as to receive the highest praise from Germany. At the London Exhibition of Fisheries in 1883, he represented the United States as Commissioner there. He will now carry out successfully the work originated by his distinguished predecessor, Spencer Fullerton Baird.
