American fish eggs in England. — The ova with which the U. S. 

 Fish Commission has supi)lied our jSTational Fish Culture Association 

 have Latched out well, and the fry arc progressing rapidly. The fish 

 from last year's ova are doing very well. Also I have hatched out a 

 large number of whitefish from some of the ova sent to the Associa- 

 tion and forwarded to me from South Kensington by Mr. Chambers.

iNCLOSURES FOR SALMON IN THE NETHERLANDS.— In the Fish Com- 

 mission Bulletin for 1884, p. 170, there was printed a statement by Mr. 

 Cliarles G. Atkins relating to penning salmon at Bucksport, Me. This 

 was in response to a request of Dr. C. J. Bottemanne for information 

 on this subject. In a i^amphlet, dated at Bergen-op-Zoom, Netherlands, 

 November, 1885, Dr. Bottemanne cites almost in full the statement by 

 Mr. Atkins, and adds other matter substantially as follows : 



For years complaints have been heard from various i)ersons in the 

 Netherlands that many of the salmon eggs ortlered from Germany failed 

 to hatch successfully, and that the prices were too high. As we knew 

 that successful elibrts had been made in the United States to pen salmon 

 and then obtain the eggs from them at the spawning time, we learned the 

 ^ethods of doing this, with a view to applying these to salirion breeding
