MUSEUMS. 



The experiment of hatching trout in the small fish-hatchery in the 

 Aquarium, was this year very successful, fully 75 per cent of the young 

 trout being reared The older trout have increased very much in size, 

 so much so, that it was found desirable, in December last, to thin them 

 down, and with the sanction of the Parks and Gardens Committee 

 about three dozen were transferred to the lake at Sefton Park. 



Various exchanges (see page 12) have been effected with duplicates 

 from the Aquarium tanks.
