evening' session, Init the nieinl)ers were entertained in a most 

 pleasing- and instructive \va\- hy President 'I'-itconih, who 

 gave an illustrated lecture on fish culture and kindred sub- 

 jects. Ahoiut lOO slides were shown and fully explained, 

 reproducing in enlarged form photogTai)hic views of the 

 ova. in successive stages of development, of trout, salmon, 

 whitefish and wall-eyed pike ; the fish from infancy to full 

 adult size; methods of taking and incubating the ova; var- 

 ious forms of hatching apparatus and utensils ; interior and 

 exterior views of hatching stations ; ponds and raceways and 

 natural spawning beds; and wild-life aufl landscape scenes 

 from mountain, brook and forest. As the illustrated talk 

 proved to be a novel and highly interesting exposition of 

 the subject in hand, it is to be hoped that other scenes and 

 views may be added to ^Ir. Titcomb's collection, for exhibi- 

 tion at future meetings.
