1 am quite certain that many of the fish mentioned 

 by the Chinese Ambassador would do quite well in this 

 country, and now that the transport of fish for long 

 voyages is thoroughly understood, I am in great hopes 

 that I shall be able to induce the owners of our fast- 

 sailing tea- ships who come to the ports of London from 

 China, to bring home samples of living fish. If gold 

 fish were brought from China years ago, surely with our 

 improved mode of transport we could get over speci- 

 mens of the carp tribe.
