By Fred Mather. 



GERMANY. 



A. Brook trout, S. fontinalis. — December 29, 1882, I received from 

 F. N. Clark, Nortliville, Mich., 25,000 eggs of brook trout. The box 

 came on Friday, and the North German Lloyd steamer was to sail next 

 day. I removed the sawdust packing and substituted ice and sent the 

 box to Hoboken Saturday morning, but instead of sailing at the usual 

 time, 2 p. m., the ship went at 9 a. m., and the box was too late. This pack- 

 age also contained the eggs of lake trout and whitefish. It was placed 

 in a stable in Hoboken and iced frequently until the next week, when 

 they were sent to the Deutsche Fischerei Verein, Berlin, care F. Busse, 

 Geestemunde, on Saturday, January 6, 1883. They were received in 

 Germany in good order, as the reports below will show. 



On February 2, 1883, I received a second package of brook-trout 

 eggs from Mr. Clark containing 20,000 brook-trout eggs, which were 

 shipped by steamer Salier on the same day to the Deutsche Fischerei 

 Verein. 



B. Lake trout, S. namaycush. — December 29, 1882, received a box 

 containing 100,000 eggs of the lake trout, which went on January 6, 

 1883, with the first lot of brook trout to the Deutsche Fischerei Verein. 

 They were spilled from the package by some accident, and whether all 

 were lost or not my advices do not say. 



C. Whitefish, Coregonus albus. — December 29, 1882, 1 received from 



F. ]Sr. Clark, Northville, Mich., 10,000 eggs of the whitefish, which were 

 sent on January G with the first lot of brook trout to Mr. G. Ebrecht, 

 Geestemunde.
