METHOD OF PACKING FISH FOR TRANSPORTATION. 301 
The paper I use is called vegetable parchment, but I prefer to call it simply 
fish wrapping paper, for by employing this name I am able to retard the use of 
bad imitations with the consequent poor result and possibly damage to the 
reputation of my improved method of packing. The paper is at present to be 
had only in London. It is of two weights, the heavier parchment a dark 
brownish gray, the lighter weight a yellowish brown. The dark heavy paper, 
for wrapping large fish such as halibut, will shortly be made in sheets 5 feet 
square. The yellow paper, for wrapping smaller fish, is to be had in sheets 
28 inches square.
